Named after James Brown (not 'Capability' and not the soul singer) who was a head gardener and instrumental in beginning work in this area. In 1827 he received a silver medal for the best fruits from King George IV for growing one of the largest pineapples ever seen at that time. It was 11 inches (28cm) high, 33 inches (84cm) round and weighed 22lbs (10kg), which was a great indicator of his skill as a gardener.
