NOTES: This Elizabethan house became the property of Colonel James Grahame in 1688 after his career at Court in the service of King James II. He employed a young French gardener, Guillaume Beaumont, a pupil of Le Notre at Versailles, to plan a fashionable garden in 1689-1712. The garden has survived in its original design and the topiary is some of the oldest in the world.
