Brief description of site

This site has a mid-17th-century park of 66.5 hectares, including a garden of 3.5 hectares, which was altered during the late-19th century. The park shows evidence of a much earlier formal layout.

Brief history of site

The construction of High House at Campsey is said to have been started in 1558 by John Glover. The layout of the formal gardens, including the surviving canals, yew hedges and yew-encircled bowling green, together with the two main avenues radiating from the House across the park, date from the 17th century. The park is first shown on Bowen's map of the county in around 1750.
