Historic Parks and Gardens
Due to significant resourcing issues the built heritage team will be unable to respond to anything non-urgent outside of the application process. Please bear with us, as responses to applications may also be delayed in the coming months.

Historic Parks and Gardens has been established as a designation since 1983, nationally listed by Historic England through the government and locally registered by Local Planning Authorities. The sites included cover anything from planned open spaces, such as town squares, to gardens and grounds.

Wychavon has 8 nationally registered parks and gardens:

  • Hanbury Hall
  • Hartlebury Castle
  • Overbury Court
  • Pirton Park
  • Rous Lench Court
  • Croome Court
  • Spetchley Park
  • Westwood Park

There are also 80 locally registered parks and gardens.

A register has been compiled of the nationally registered sites by Historic England which can be searched. Search the register
