Doddington Place Gardens

Doddington Place has been the home of the Oldfield family for a century. The many-gabled brick house was designed by the Victorian architect Charles Brown Trollope and built around1860 for Sir John Croft of the port and sherry family.

In 1873 Markham Nesfield (1842-74), son of the better known garden designer William Andrews Nesfield (1793-1881), designed the formal terrace next to the house for Sir John Croft. Nothing remains now of his detailed planting plans.

Today the gardens still evoke the Edwardian spirit of the next owner of Doddington Place, Mrs. Douglas Jeffreys (nee Oldfield) who was responsible for much of the architectural detail and layout of the heart of the garden.
