Pond

The pond was created by Piers Patrick (1861-1870), with the bronze fountain of the Boy with Two Dolphins being added by James Duncan (1870-1889). This area is now surrounded by naturalistic plantings of Hosta, Rodgersia, Gentiana, Arisaema and Paris. In the Autumn the Cercidiphyllum japonicum is a highlight of the area with it’s wonderful autumnal foliage, which smells of burnt sugar or candyfloss as it falls.
