The Italian garden was laid out in the 1930s when the Pleasaunce was created from the gardens of the 18th century house, latterly occupied by E Nesbit. This was retained and re-emphasised in the renovations in 2002 with selective replacement of the larger conifers with the narrow varieties more typical of an Italian garden landscape. The sunken garden was also created at that time; until recently it was planted with rose bushes; now its focal point is exotic species - in 2006 a banana tree - and colourful planting
