Introduction
Much of the former grounds were built over for the Alton East and Alton West Estates but the houses themselves have been converted for educational use and now provide facilities for Roehampton University. Remnants of earlier garden features are found in the surrounding environment, including an 18th-century garden temple, a summer house and architectural balustrading.
