Introduction
The structure of an extensive early-20th-century formal terraced garden survives at Horsely Hall, laid out by the architect George Kitchin. There is also a rockwork garden with paths winding between massive rocks and a few fine ornamental trees. The house was largely demolished in 1963 but the garden's structure and some of its planting remain.
