Description

The group of four stone troughs is located in the formal gardens of Somerleyton Hall and dates from around 1846. They were created by John Thomas for Sir Morton Peto. These troughs are shown in their current position on Nesfield's 'Plan of Details for the Enlargement of the West Parterre,' which is dated October 1850, indicating they were already in place at that time and referred to as 'stone flower baskets.' The troughs are lozenge-shaped in plan and are listed for their group value as part of the formal garden originally designed by Nesfield. This garden is also included in the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission County Register of Gardens at Grade II.
