Summary

The surviving pleasure ground area, parkland and kitchen garden of the now demolished Wootton Court. The mansion was built in 1785 to the designs of the architect, John Plaw, and it has been suggested that the surrounding grounds were landscaped at this time. The undulating landscape surrounding the remaining buildings still features specimen trees and far reaching views. The kitchen garden wall survives mostly intact.
