 Description of Garden
Designer:
The garden retains its original style and layout and features avenues leading to statuary, fountains, a grotto and a series of terraces processing down to a lake called the Great Basin. There is also a unique iron Birdcage arbour installed when the garden was first laid out, at the end of a long yew walk.
 History of Garden
The original design of the garden dates from 1704, reflecting the enthusiasm of Rt Hon Thomas Coke to create a garden when he inherited the property in 1696. The walks, vistas and statuary, much favoured in the early 18th century, have been restored in the influential, Dutch / French formal style of the time.

By 1712 the garden was described as 'curious' and by 1789 it was already thought to be old fashioned.
