Poundisford Park

The southern area, as yet without a house, was leased to John Soper, who sold it to Hill's son, William, who built the present Poundisford Park shortly after his return to England.

The entrance front is an outstanding example of the approach towards symmetry of the English country house from its former expression of the hierarchy of its interior spaces.

[4] Vivian-Neal, a JP and alderman, and a keen antiquarian and archaeologist, paid £10,000 for the estate in 1928 and spent even more repairing and modernising the property, employing Anthony Methuen as the architect.

The design of the house was influenced by Barrington Court,[2] often dated 1514, Nicholas Cooper suggests[3] that it actually postdates Poundisford by a few years.

[2] The lodge contains two fine late 16th century plasterwork barrel vaulted bedrooms and extensive decorative wainscoting.

[9] The Poundisford Park Pale, which has been designated as an Ancient monument[11] is included on the Heritage at Risk Register due to scrub and tree growth.
