Description

The stone seat located approximately 35 metres to the rear (north) of Braxted Park House is a circular ornamental garden seat. It is possibly from the early 20th century and incorporates older carved and moulded stone fragments, including cusped arches and achievements, which are believed to have come from the old Houses of Parliament. The seat features a later circular chamfered stone slab top.
