This site is NOT open to public.

Brief description of site

Stradsett Hall has a park and pleasure grounds of 100 hectares laid out by John Claudius Loudon between 1810 and 1813.

Brief history of site

In 1791 the Elizabethan manor house was accompanied by several ponds and the remains of a medieval moat. After 1807, T P Bagge prepared to remodel the hall and create a 'picturesque' landscape around it. In 1808 he commissioned Humphry Repton to supply a design but it was J C Loudon whom Bagge chose for the commission in 1810. Through successive generations of the Bagge family the main elements of the Loudon landscape have survived.
