Powis Park Broomfield House

Previous - Next

Powis Park, or Broomfield House, as it is sometimes called, and Culland's Grove, once the seat of Sir W. Curtis, are worth notice for their trees. The house which stood in Culland's Grove has been lately taken down, but the fine cedars of Lebanon, red cedars, pinasters, lofty silver firs, and large deciduous cypresses and purple beeches, still remain; a proof of what one would not on first thoughts expect, that planting often affords a more durable monument than building.
