History

Iscoyd Park was built in the early C18 and was extended by William Hanmer in 1747. From 1780 it was owned by Rev Richard Congreve (d 1782) and his descendants, who sold it to Philip Lake Godsal in 1843. The walled garden is shown on an estate plan of 1780, and 2 other near-contemporary plans. Its S side, attached to a contemporary laundry, was probable never walled.

Exterior

Garden walls on 3 sides covering an area approximately 80x60m, of brick with freestone coping. The W side fronts the back drive to the house. The S side is occupied by shippons and iron railings. The E wall has 3 segmental-headed boarded doors. The W side has 2 similar doors, abuts the laundry at the SW end, and abuts a gate pier at the NW end at the back entrance to the house.

Reasons for Listing
