Rode Hall
Rode Hall, near the village of Scholar Green, is the home of the Baker Wilbraham family, Baronets of Loventor, who have owned it since 1669. The house dates from the early 18th century and the grounds that surround it were landscaped by Humphry Repton. This photograph is of Rode Pool, which is a mile long and covers an area of some 40 acres. It was constructed between 1800 and 1810 by John Webb, to a design by Repton. The small island - which can be glimpsed on the left - is called Birthday Island and is home to a colony of herons.
