A walled garden surviving as an interesting relic of the Desart Court estate following the destruction (1923) and subsequent demolition (1957) of the eponymous country house (1733) described (1837) as 'a large and elegant [mansion] of hewn stone in a demesne of more than 400 plantation acres contain[ing] some remarkably fine oak timber' (Lewis 1837 II, 16; cf. 124022--).
