Little Haugh Hall
Once the manor house for the sub-manor of Little Haugh, in the late-seventeenth century Little Haugh Hall had a moated garden, walled enclosure, dovecote and raised walk beside and a surviving seventeenth century bridge over the Black Bourne river that are depicted in a c. 1719 Peter Tillemans painting. The house and grounds were substantially altered in the early-eighteenth century for Cox Macro to create a surviving Georgian house surrounded by parkland and pleasure gardens including groves, vistas of clipped evergreen hedges and classically-styled garden structures. Probably from the same period there is a surviving viewing mount giving views over the parkland and towards the house. The nineteenth century saw the widening of the river to create a thin lake, alterations to an earlier enclosed kitchen garden with tree-lined walk leading to a wood and the addition of a ha-ha separating the terraced gardens from the parkland. Today, the site includes relic gardens that have been substantially altered, a number of mature trees supplemented by newer plantings and the moat partially in-filled.
