Statement of Interest

Set to the NW of and still associated with Spital House, 1999 - see separate list entry. Although there is little evidence of the original formal layout (as shown on the early OS map), the garden remains a good example of its type. The initials 'W C L' are thought to stand for the Rev William Compton Lundie - noted in Rutherfurd's as owner and resident here in 1866.
