Brief description of site
The well-timbered grounds at Rendcomb College comprise late-18th-century parkland, some terracing and artefacts from a mid-19th-century Italianate garden and a pinetum. The old brick walls of the kitchen garden also survive.
Brief history of site
A new house was built in the late-17th century and formal gardens were laid out. In 1865 Sir Francis Goldsmid demolished the house and built a new one in the Italianate style. The grounds were further developed at this time. In 1913 the property was sold and became a school.
