A fine example of the 1730s Forest Style, with a nineteenth century house. The garden is enclosed and has avenues, focussed on viewpoints and lined with beech hedges. One glade was designed by Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe and named by him 'the running footman garden'. The design of St Paul's Walden is discussed in Christopher Hussey's English Gardens and Landscapes 1700-1750 and in Michael Spens' The Complete Landscape Designs and Gardens of Geoffrey Jellicoe.
