Description

Nineteenth century formal garden and park recorded on historic maps at Woodlands Park. An early-mid 19th century Italianate villa set in parkland with a lodge at the entrance. The first edition 6" OS map shows house with formal grounds/gardens, parkland and wilderness. There is an avenue leading from the lodge to the house. The 1:10000 map shows everything to be pretty much in order, no major developments have occurred. Only slight change is that most of parkland is now a large field (B2). An early–mid-C19 Chiltern villa, gardens, kitchen garden and park, incorporating the linear archaeological feature known as Grims Ditch in the design, both in the park (where it is now filled in) and pleasure ground. The layout survives largely intact, together with long views across the Misbourne valley. (See report for detail)(B3).
