Harlaxton Manor, Harlaxton - South Kesteven

A mid-C19 park and gardens with contemporary Jacobean/Baroque garden buildings, walled kitchen garden and house. Historic split management of landscape and conversion of house and gardens to institutional use, deterioration of built features (buildings at risk) and decline of wider parkland due to arable agriculture. Several garden buildings and structures have been repaired, and a parkland plan prepared, with Historic England grants and other funds. Harlaxton College is progressing plans for restoration of extensive parkland formerly in separate ownership.
