OLD DURHAM GARDENS - List Entry
-
Description
Walled gardens and a gazebo of the early to mid C17, with mid C18 modifications. References to the area appear in the early medieval period and a manor is first mentioned in the C12. The estate was appropriated in 1443 by Bishop Neville and passed into the possession of Kepier Hospital until 1569 when it was bought by John Heath. It remained in the family, passing by marriage to the Tempests in 1665, and to the Vane-Tempests in 1794. It is thought that the fourth John Heath constructed the gardens during the period 1630 to 1650. The Tempest family moved away from the site in 1719 but kept the garden and house for their personal use... -
