Description
Walled garden, extant 1838, on a rounded cornered sub-rectangular plan with ivy-covered boundary wall to perimeter having overgrown coping. Now disused. Set in grounds originally shared with Dalganpark.
Appraisal
A walled garden surviving as an interesting relic of the Dalganpark estate following the demolition (1944) of the eponymous country house (1817-23) described (1837) as 'a spacious mansion of hewn limestone, in the Grecian style, with a noble hall supported on lofty Corinthian columns and lighted by a finely proportioned dome' (Lewis 1837 II, 555; cf. 31312208).
