    Southwood House, Derbyshire. 2001 
     
    At a request from the Historic Gardens Society, I carried out this survey of 
    a walled garden, now much overgrown and used for grazing a few sheep. The 
    dark line crossing horizontally is the course of a culvert which carries a 
    water supply to a pond on the western side. The vertical dark line 
    corresponds with an area where the vegetation is much denser with a line of 
    trees and patches of nettles, which indicates much wetter soil. I am seeing 
    here zig-zag lines very similar to those on the plot of Llwydiarth, which 
    makes me wonder whether there was a maze here also, although there is no 
    historical evidence. The maze was once a statement of prestige as well as 
    for amusement and went through a phase of popularity about the time that 
    Southwood was at its height. 
     
    Surveyed at 1 metre intervals. |
