NHER 30473 (Designed Landscape record) - Narford Park

Historic Parkland Grade II, see (S1).
Park with ornamental deer on site by 1720 when extensive formal layout depicted by Colen Campbell and Edmund Prideaux in plans and sketches. Mostly now gone except for grand view south to Eyetrap Plantation where there was an arch. This garden may have replaced an earlier layout some of whose trees survived until 19th century.
Present lake created from former ornamental canal - (S1) say in 19th century, (S2) say in late 18th. Gardens gone by 1886. Few old trees survive, much 20th century coniferous planting.
Information from (S1) and (S2).

(S3) dates the lake to 1860 and gives detailed description of the very important garden buildings.
See under NHER 4014 for these.

(S4) states the arch still remains in Eyetrap Plantation.

Note that (S5) has 'Monument' written some distance north of Eyetrap Plantation.
However it may be a mistake meant for the arch.
