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 the stable block, which now houses a tea room.
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 was taken in the two acre Walled Garden, which dates from the 1750s. A wide range of fruit, vegetables and flowers are still grown here. It is also famous for its gooseberries; the current gardener apparently holds the record for growing the world's largest one!
Rode Hall is a beautiful early eighteenth century country house with a fine collection of porcelain and extensive gardens set in a Repton landscape.
Home to the Wilbraham family since 1669, the extensive grounds boast a woodland garden, formal garden designed by Nesfield in 1860, a stunning two acre walled kitchen garden, which provides produce for the farmers' market and tearooms and a new Italian garden.

Rather impressed.
Normally I walk 500 yards to here but as the Roding has flooded I had to take the car 2 miles to get onto the reserve.
