Brief description of site
Amwell Grove is a late 18th- to early 19th-century Picturesque landscape occupying about 3 hectares. The site is now in divided use and ownership. The centre for the late 18th-century landscaping was Amwell Grove and the adjacent complex of church, river, riverbanks and island. These areas, though subsequently divided, remain in landscape terms parts of a unified scheme.
Brief history of site
In 1794-7 Robert Mylne (1733-1811) designed and built Amwell Grove as a retirement residence, overlooking the New River, landscaping much of the surrounding ground.
