Great Chishill Hall

Introduction

Features of Great Chishill Hall include a walled kitchen garden, paths and a lawn.

The semi-circular drive to the north-east passes through fine deciduous trees. This garden is enclosed by flint walls and ornamental wrought iron railings with a claire-voie in the centre. The garden has a lawn bordered by small island flower beds. There is a walled kitchen garden and a formal orchard with crossing paths and two small outbuildings. There are fine views of woodlands in Essex from the garden.
