When the present house was built in 1804, the gardens were enlarged and park laid out, while the kitchen garden was moved to its present position and enclosed by walls. Many of the existing mature beeches, limes, horse chestnuts, planes and cedars date from this period and the present layout owes much to their planting. This was the age of the 'picturesque' whose exponents advocated a return to some formality, but with the use of exotic trees. In 1818 the garden was extended to the west and flint walls were raised to enclose the pleasure grounds in which people walked.
