Unearth centuries of gardening history at Sheffield Park and Garden, East Sussex

Water has always been a feature of Sheffield Park and Garden, which can trace its roots back to 1745 when a pond was created from a small stream.
During the next 300 years the estate, now in the care of the National Trust, was influenced by its owners in different ways. From the fashionable and grand designs of John Baker Holroyd (later the First Earl of Sheffield) and Capability Brown in the late 1700s to the worldly influences and exotic plants brought by Arthur Soames, who owned the estate from 1910.
