Brief history of site

Robert Drummond acquired the manor of Cadland in 1772. Later in the 1770s, he called in Lancelot Brown and his son-in-law, Henry Holland to design him a new house and park. This house was then called Boarn Hill Cottage, Cadland House then being the main house some five kilometres to the north. Cadland House was demolished in 1953, and Boarn Hill Cottage was re-named Cadland House.
