Kelsale Court

Externally little-changed from when it was built as a rectory c. 1810 for the Revd Lancelot Brown, grandson of Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, Kelsale Court had a small area of parkland developed in the early-nineteenth century, lawns, orchard and large walled garden with the River Fromus running through the grounds. In the twentieth century the parkland became the village recreation ground and the walled garden and most of the lawns were lost to housing, although the nineteenth century route of a path between the house and the unusual late-nineteenth century lych gate survives between the houses. The house is now a private residence and stands within a small area of gardens dotted with specimen trees of various ages, some from the nineteenth century.
