These crests, both found on the cottages within the walled garden, are part of the coat of arms of John Sherwin Gregory of Bramcote Hills. As condition of inheritance, John Longden, Lord of the Manor of Bramcote, assumed the name of Sherwin in 1825(eagle) and of Gregory in 1860 (wheatsheaf). HEMLOCK STONE This sandstone monolith has been associated with Druid activities during the Celtic period in British history. Many myths and legends abound, ranging from giants to the Devil and to witchcraft. WALLED GARDEN The walled garden was created around 1850 and completed by 1880. The boundary walls that exist from different periods once enclosed a working fruit / vegetable garden. Two buildings contained within the garden were Gardener's Cottage and Dairy Cottage as shown. DAIRY COTTAGE Dairy Cottage was a single storey building and older than the Gardener's Cottage. The building is visible on the 1846 Tithe map. The cottage was demolished in 2001 with a footprint left to show its position. ENTRANCE TO THE ESTATE The approach to the house and estate was via two drives. Both gave a glimpse of the main house before entering the private formal garden around the house.
