Brief description of site

The site has humps and hollows in a grass field, the remains of a formal garden which surrounded the 1690s house. An engraving of Dumbleton Hall by Johannes Kip in 1712 shows a formal landscape. A new information panel shows very clearly where the original canals and walkways shown in the Kip engraving were.

Brief history of site

Sir Richard Cocks built a house near the church between 1684 and the early 1700s, which is shown in Kip's engraving published 1712.
