The Stew Pond

Ingatestone Hall, Essex.

 

Said to be at least as old as the (16th-century) house, and constructed to provide fish for the table. In the guidebook, the current Baron Petre writes: "One of my earliest memories is the lake being drained at the end of the War and the Italian POWs gathering basketfuls of eels to feast upon".
