BARWICK IN ELMET AND SCHOLES BRAMHAM PARK SE44SW LS23 Stone surround to 8/18 2.9.52
GV I
Retaining walls of T-shaped pond or canal. Begun 1728 possibly to a design by John Wood the Elder for Robert Benson. Ashlar and earth banks. T-shaped. Only the cross piece of the "T", that nearest the house, has stone retaining walls with angled chamfered coping. The long length of the canal has earth-banks with neatly-clipped turf to encourage water fowl to use the water, they apparently do not use the other ponds bound entirely by stone and the leaving of this section, which lies within the parish of Barwick-in-Elmet, with earth- banks seems to be an original part of the scheme of the elaborate geometrical layout much of which survives from Wood's plan of 1725-28. The majority of the canal is in the civil parish of Bramham cum Oglethorpe (q.v.).
