Description
Series of watching briefs and trial excavations within the grounds of the house revealed the layout of the Parterre and Elysian Gardens, including evidence for structures within the Elysian Gardens. These structures included a late 18th century cold bath known from documentary evidence. The area along the front of the vine house was also investigated; brick footings were found which were interpreted as the remains of root beds to accommodate the roots of the vines.
