Dunstall Hall

Introduction

The hall dates from the early-19th century, with later additions. In a sale of 1814 the house was described as 'fronting a deer park or paddock substantially paled and planted round with forest & choise shrubs'.

The 1837 Tithe map shows a lawn to the south-east, a walled garden and a gardener's house. The garden front is at the east, including a terrace with formal planting. There are pleasure grounds to the north, an orangery, ice house, and a kitchen garden still productive in 1993.

The parkland is still good, and has a lake to the south. The margins are thickly planted. There is extensive 19th-century planting around the lake. Other features include an avenue and a double row of trees between the house and road shown on the 1926 Ordnance Survey map.
