Sotterley Parish

Probably incorporating an earlier mansion, eighteenth century Sotterley Hall lies beside the parish church in a circular park, created after the closure of public highways in the late-eighteenth century, although there is evidence of an earlier deer park on the site. The park incorporated areas of ancient woodland with newer shelterbelts of trees around the perimeter. Eighteenth century features include mention of a dovecot plus surviving grotto, ha-ha, dam creating a lake with summerhouse and boathouse. There are three surviving lodges, nineteenth century stables/coach houses and service wing to the rear of the house plus notable cowsheds and water tower. An eighteenth century walled kitchen garden lies south of the house within the pleasure gardens. Many ancient oaks and a number of mature nineteenth and early-twentieth century trees survive in the park today.
