Bawdsey Manor, Bawdsey - East Suffolk
Elaborate gardens laid out between 1885 and 1909 for Sir Cuthbert and Lady Quilter on advice from Alfred Parsons. The site contains numerous garden features built by James Pulham and Son in the 1890s, including an extensive artificial cliff garden complete with seats and alcoves. The Pulhamite features require conservation, and both gardens and park are in need of strategic management. Coastal erosion remains a major concern. Restoration of some features will come forward alongside redevelopment of the site as an outdoor education centre, with reinstatement of the River Jordan now complete.
