NHER 31971 (Monument record) - Middleton Park

The two landscape parks that surrounded Middleton Hall and Middleton Cottage are both recorded under this number. The earliest record of a park around Middleton Hall dates from 1800, and the park had perimeter belts, lodges, a kitchen garden and an American garden. The small park around Middleton Cottage, which was built in 1814, had shrubberies, a kitchen garden and pleasure grounds. In the early 20th century the park around Middleton Hall was altered significantly so as to visually appear almost continuous with the park around Middleton Cottage. Middleton Cottage was demolished after 1929 and a housing estate has been constructed within the park, and the remainder has been extensively re-landscaped to form a golf course.
