A painting from 1916 of Lotherton Hall's walled garden.

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

The walled garden at Lotherton Hall was designed at the end of the 19th century by Mrs Laura Gwendolen Gascoigne, the wife of Colonel Frederick R.T.T. Gascoigne who inherited the estate in 1893. It is now being restored to its former glory.
