Gateways in the walls are linked by wooden gates, James Tryon's original garden consisted of 2 parterres in front of Bulwick Hall; these were probably within the area enclosed by the terrace wall and the walls at right angles to either end of the terrace. The area enclosed by walls to the south was probably also part of James Tryon's garden. (RCHM: An Inventory of Architectural Monuments in North Northamptonshire: p28)
