| Summary : Landscape park and gardens to Hill Hall covering an area of 50 hectares. Gardens were first laid out between 1569 and 1575 and extended during the late 17th century. The park was landscaped during the late 18th century and in 1791 Humphry Repton was comissioned to produce a Red Book, but none of his designs were used. The park was extended in the mid 19th century. Most of the present gardens were designed by Reginald Blomfield from 1909 and by Philip Tilden in 1925. Gertrude Jekyll was commissioned for a garden design in 1928 but it is uncertain whether this was implemented. |
