Danbury Park, Sandon / Danbury - Chelmsford

Mid C19 gardens created for the Bishops of Rochester, focussed on the early C19 Danbury Palace and set with a C16-C18 landscape park developed by the Mildmay, Fytche and Round families from an earlier medieval deer park. The site is divided between multiple owners, resulting in differential management, obstructed views and fragmentation of the designed landscape. Numerous features, such as the icehouse, ha-ha, lakes, and Lime Avenue are deteriorating. An updated Conservation Management Plan will be informing improvements for parts of the site, but more coordinated management is required.
