A long view across the fields from the Cadgers' Road. Parkhill House was built in 1804 for Alexander Duncan, who had bought the property when he retired from the East India Company in 1799. It was altered in 1905/7 and remained in the Duncan family until 2013. It is a Category B Listed building. Alexander Duncan was a keen plant collector and he also established a walled garden, and the sundial there is Category C Listed.
