Abstract: |
This assessment has explores and presents the significance of the walled garden complex at Sidbury Manor, finding it to be largely contemporary with the laying of out of the wider picturesque parkland and construction of the house in 1878-9. The garden forms part of an 'inner park' comprising an arboretum, and lawns in more gardenesque and formal styles. The walled complex includes a formal pleasure garden, reconfigured in 1899 and again in the past 20 years, in addition to the remains of hot and alpine glasshouses, two well preserved ranges of bothies and offices, and the two main productive vegetable and fruit garden enclosures in which development is proposed. The significance of the garden is found to lie in its historic and architectural values, which illustrate both late 19th century estate food production and working practices whilst comprising an important formal part of interesting and regionally important gardens. The enclosures, at the upper end of the tiered walled garden complex are assessed to have the greatest capacity for the kind of development proposed, which we find would result in only negligible less than substantial harm to the architectural and historic values of the listed walls, whilst representing the 'optimum viable use' of the site in a manner which should be capable of supporting and encouraging its ongoing conservation and progressively enhancing the understanding and presentation of the heritage asset as a whole. |
