Summary
This garden was reorganised in 1870 and 1876, removing several roads and enlarging a pond to create a formal lake. A kitchen garden was also added. The formal layout of the gardens suggests that this reorganisation utilised surviving 17th century landscape boundaries.

Full description
Woodgate House Park.
(S1) grade two-star (regional importance). In 1840 there were extensive farm buildings to southwest of house and a small pond to the east.
