DALEMAIN (park and garden) - Dacre - List Entry

  • Description

    A C17 terrace and a walled garden of the C17 and C18, laid out or improved by Sir Edward Hasell; C18 parkland with woodland probably planted in the late C18 by Williams Hasell and a walled deer park, probably of C17 or C18 date.....The site was owned by John de Morville in the C12. It passed to the Layton family in the C13, who sold it to Edward Hasell (1642-1707), steward of Lady Anne Clifford, in 1679. Hasell was knighted in 1699. His grandson Williams (1737-86) was known as 'the Planter' for his interest in laying out woodland, and is credited with extensive planting in the park at Dalemain (guidebook). He is shown, standing in sylvan scenery, in a late C18 painting by Arthur Devis. The house remains in the hands of the Hasell family, and continues (1997) in use as a private residence....
