The property has been owned by the Dormer family since the 17th century, and they still live there today. The landscape garden , begun in 1738, is more important than an early work by William Kent that has hardly changed . Important contemporaries, including Alexander Pope and Horace Walpole , considered it one of the most beautiful gardens of their time.
