Membland Hall was demolished, but the kitchen garden walls and various buildings remain as
an impressive reminder of the self-sufficiency of the large Victorian estate. Sale particulars of 1912 noted that the pleasure grounds and gardens were of ’diversified character’. The features included terraced lawns, timbered park, rustic summer-houses, bowling green, cricket ground with ornamental pavilion, two walled fruit and vegetable gardens and a range of glass houses. Many of the impressive range of Victorian outbuildings survive as does a summer-house and the kitchen garden walls. See document for full details.
