With a keen interest in garden design and extensive botanical knowledge, Mrs Laura Gwendolen Gascoigne started transforming Lotherton Hall's walled garden into an ‘old-fashioned’ garden in 1893, filled with rose beds and herbaceous borders with scented flowers, tender creepers and perennials. Her husband, Colonel Frederick R.T.T. Gascoigne inherited the estate in 1893. Credit: Leodis.net
