Research notes.

Landscape park, pleasance and gardens to Parham. The park was first documented in 1628 and was partly landscaped circa 1778-9 with a lake to the south of the house and plantations and perimeter tree planting. Woodland is present to north of the house. The pleasance also contains a small lake, is laid out with lawns and planted with specimen trees and shrubs which merge into the park. The gardens are late 18th century in date and include a walled garden containing its original layout of walks, an orchard and an orangery. A terrace at the south front of the house is laid out with parterres and statues.
