Full Description

Hall and park shown on Chapman's map of 1774, hall only on Sanderson 1835. Throsby says "far and near, upon this domain, are clumps of fir, and plantations rising all around you in this part of the forest, which seem congenial with the soil. Here are appendages of water and pleasure grounds as in other family residences, but nothing extraordinarily striking." The hall and stables have been demolished and built over . A gateway and icehouse survive, listed grade II. (1)
