At the North Eastern end of the Pleasure Grounds is a two acre Walled Garden which is gradually being restored back to its former glory. The fruit and vegetables produced in the Walled Garden are now used in the Old Rectory Restaurant and fresh flowers are cut for the floral displays in some rooms in the Hall.

The Walled Garden was until relatively recently was just grassed over and had been used for grazing the farm animals.  In 1997 James White Fruit Drinks offered to sponsor the reintroduction of fruit trees which once grew in the garden and there were sufficient funds to commence some of the repairs to the walls. The walls had subsided in some sections and had been hit by a second world war bomb, which had also demolished the late eighteenth greenhouse.

The James White sponsorship acted as the incentive for further fundraising leading to the project to completely restore the Walled garden and the glasshouses.

In 1998 archaeological excavations were carried out to discover the original path locations and these were then reinstated. This was followed in 1999 with installation of espalier frames along each side of the East-West path and the North and South Walls with fruit trees subsequently planted along them. Eventually all the inner Walled Garden will be planted with box hedging, some 6,000 plants in total.

The magnificent glasshouses on the wall of the garden you see today were rebuilt in 2000 and externally they are based on Soanes eighteenth century design, found in the Soane Museum in London, the only alteration has been to give wheelchair access to the central show house.

Each year 20,000 Bedding plants for the Parterre and Walled Garden will be "grown on" in the Glasshouses with the central section open as a show house. The next phase of restoration, when funds become available, will see the replacing of the Outer Wall (today part of farm paddocks) plus the buildings backing on to the garden wall such as the Potting Shed, Bothy, Apple Store, Mushroom House and Garden Stable.
