Brief description of site

Brocklesby Park is a landscape park containing lakes and woodland, with late 19th-century formal gardens around the house.

Brief history of site

The first recorded mention of a manor house at Brocklesby comes in 1585. A new house was built on a new site in around 1603 and surrounded with 'fine gardens, groves and pleasure houses'. The house was substantially re-modelled in around 1710. Lancelot Brown was commissioned in 1771 to make alterations to the house and to lay out new grounds and James Wyatt to design complementary buildings, including a fine Mausoleum erected in 1786.
