Lamorbey Park

[1] Orme died in 1812 and the property passed into another branch of his family, the Malcolms, who had made their money from sugar plantations in Jamaica.

[4] In the 1830s Orme's grandson, Neil Malcolm, commissioned John Shaw to redesign aspects of the mansion, including a Jacobean facade and the removal of several interior walls,[4] and he also added an orangery.

The house subsequently passed to his brother, John Neil Malcolm, in 1840 and was partly remodelled by Sir James Pennethorne.

[1][3] In 1926 a consortium, led by Greenwich businessman Herbert John Sheppard, took over the hotel, and Sheppard oversaw the establishment of pleasure grounds within the estate, including a bowling green, tennis courts, and substantial new areas of plantation known as The Glade and Pine Tree Walk, as well as a new entrance to the grounds from the western side.

[1] The Glade, a 7.4-hectare (18-acre) area of historic landscape laid in the 1920s, features a large lake that houses the Lamorbey Angling Society.
