Most of the information we have concerning the estate and garden dates from the last years of his life and the 1890s. Further research, particularly on the 'fifties and 'sixties is needed. The history of the garden and estate in this century is not well understood,although it is likely that the garden was not much altered through the intenvar years. Since it has suffered considerably. The North Orchard, such an important feature of the original estate, has been replaced by a scheme of c1960. Fortunately, little has been done to the Sandwalk.
