Brief description of site

The site has been transformed a number of times since the 18th century. The gardens were most recently laid out by Lanning Roper in the 1970s. Features include a number of garden rooms, terraces, a lake, gothic summer house and a Chinese bridge.

Brief history of site

A map of 1652 shows a square house with an enclosed inner court. Apart from the orchard, little in the way of gardens is evident. A gate together with brick piers front the road, with a grass court leading to the house. A warren is shown to the east, between the house and the river. In the late-1940s the house was made over to the National Trust who leased it to Mr Simon Sainsbury until his death in 2006.
