The Hall dates from 1840 and a plan by its then owners, drawn in 1846, shows the gardens much as they are today. This is the evidence for the claim that the double herbaceous border is one of the oldest in England. The walled kitchen garden has been skillfully transformed into an Arts and Crafts garden. George Elgood's 1900 painting of the garden is shown on the back cover of Brent Elliott's book on Victorian Gardens.
