Bangeston (3)

The old mansion and its appurtenances, standing derelict for over 200 years, have become almost invisible as trees have sprung up and plant growth has swathed the ruins. It is said that the walled enclosure immediately in front of the house called the Bowling Green. There was an artificial pond in the wood and a water-mill, while a huge walled kitchen garden and an avenue of beeches, leading away to the westward, still recall Bangeston's former magnificence.
