Description

The garden is laid out on sloping land immediately E of the Hall. It consists of a main axis path with a secondary cross axis, intersecting at an urn (q.v.) and terminating at wrought iron gates. The main axis has 2 flights of steps, the second upper flight leading on to a terrace with a fish pond and central cast iron fountain of 3 stages, the water springing from a circular stand held aloft by a putto. Swans are set around the base. The bounds of the garden are marked by stone balustrades, forming a wide apsidal lower end, and defining the edge of the upper terrace. It has small urns at intervals, and terminates in larger urns. The paths are box edged, and lawns fill the bays, shaped for effect. At the top of the garden is a stone wall with the bellcage gate (q.v.).
