The thatched umbrello you see today within the pleasure grounds was created around 1995 and was based on an original design by JB Papworth.
Originally the umbrello would have been the centre of a round, formal Victorian Rose garden with large, dense evergreen trees forming a backdrop to the wonderful blooms. It would have been a quiet place for people to sit and relax in, perhaps enjoying some tea there as well.
Nowadays, two of the evergreen plants remain from the original garden, the maritime pine and Chamaecyparis lawsoniana.
