Landscape record TR 03 NE 250 - Scott's Hall Park

Summary

There seems to have been three parks associated with Scot's Hall which was built and rebuilt 3 times. To the east of Lodge House on the east side of the Brabourne Lees to Stonehill Road lies Warren Hill and Park Farm. This would seem to relate to the earliest Scot's Hall sited near Brabourne Church. Now to the south of the M20 lies the remnant Park Wood and Park Wood Cottage. The Scot family moved into the second hall about 1430 and it was rebuilt in 1491. (Perhaps period of Olde Parke). A fire led to a rebuild with a grander Elizabethan front in about 1634 (perhaps period of final park), but after the Restoration money began to run out
