Full description
Hexagonal walled garden to the north of Ashby Hall (see MLI84518). The exact date of construction of the walled garden is currently uncertain. It is depicted on the 2nd edition 25" Ordnance Survey County Series map, where it is shown with a number of probable glasshouses attached to both the northern and southern walls. The garden is visible on an aerial photograph taken in 1969, with all the walls appearing to be fully extant at that time, although the former glasshouses seem to have been removed. {1}{2}
