Abstract:		 The walled garden at Owston Hall was built during the late 18th century (c AD 1770) prior to the new hall which was built by Henry Cooke and formed a large extension to the old hall. During the 19th century the garden was developed and matured to comprise of hundreds of fruit trees including vines, oranges and apricots. This would not only have provided produce for the house but the surplus sold to contribute to the income. The design of Owston Hall's walled garden was ambitious and comprises of brick and limestone walls enclosing a rectangular area of about 0.65 hectares (1.6 acres). The northwest wall was a heated fruit wall with evidence for regularly spaced furnaces across the northwest elevation. The furnaces supplied heated air through a series of horizontal and inclined flues, ensuring that the southeast facing wall was free from frosts, thereby maximising fruit production. 1.3 Victorian additions to the walled garden included a large lean-to glasshouse and orangery along the central section of the northwest wall's southeast elevation. The Late Victorian period represents the height of the walled garden's development. The garden had the benefit of established fruit trees and over a hundred years of horticultural knowledge and infrastructure investment by the Cooke family.
