Garden House
Image: © Anne Burgess Taken: 23 Feb 2010
This was the house occupied by the head gardener, and the wall behind it is the outside wall of the walled garden. Red brick was preferred for this purpose because it retains warmth and helps the fruit to thrive. The plaque above the door has a coronet, the letter 'S', presumably for Seafield, and the date 1869. Had I not seen this, I would have thought it was older than that.
