Brief description of site

Tylney Hall has late Victorian and Edwardian gardens, pleasure grounds and a park of 125 hectares surrounding a country house.
The house is a hotel, open to guests, diners, wedding and conference attendees.

Brief history of site

The first Tylney Hall was built in 1700, although a mansion had existed on the site since the 16th century. An extensive formal landscape was laid out after 1725. The mansion was demolished after 1812, and was not replaced until the late-19th century. The gardens were laid out by Seldon Wornum between 1899 and 1901, with additions by Robert Weir Schultz from 1901 to 1904, and planting advice from Gertrude Jekyll.
