Overview | Heritage Category: Park and Garden Grade: II* List Entry Number: 1000532 Date first listed: 19-Dec-1986 |
Gardens and parkland associated with a country house, which retain elements of an
early and mid C18 layout, together with C19 improvements.
HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT During the medieval period, Creech was a grange attached to Bindon
Abbey. At the Dissolution, the property was granted to Sir John Horsey of Clifton
Maybank, Dorset, who sold it to Sir Oliver Lawrence, Collector of the Customs in the
Port of Poole and brother-in-law to the Lord Chancellor, Thomas Wriothesley. Between
1540 and his death in 1559, Sir Oliver Lawrence built a new house on the site of the
monastic grange. It is likely that his son, Edward, continued this work (Oswald 1959).
The Lawrence family owned Creech until 1691, when John Lawrence sold it to a lawyer,
Nathaniel Bond, whose father, Denis Bond, owned property nearby at Lutton. Nathaniel
Bond bought out his brothers' interest in their father's estate, and also acquired
the manor of Tyneham which he settled on his younger son. Creech passed to his elder
son, Denis, who between 1738 and 1741 employed the Blandford architect Francis Cartwright
to rebuild the south wing of the house. Account books show that some £1300 was expended
on this work, and new gardens and parkland were laid out to form a setting for the
remodelled house. This landscape scheme included a formal garden and canal to the
west of the house, and informal pleasure grounds around a series of pools in Little
Wood. To the south of the house, symmetrical plantations framed a vista towards a
gothic eyecatcher set on the skyline above the house, which was completed before 1746.
To the north of the pleasure grounds, Denis Bond constructed a chapel in 1746. This
chapel, which served as a landscape feature, was rebuilt in 1849-68 for the Rev Nathaniel
Bond, while the east facade of the house was also remodelled at the same period. Denis
Bond's landscape improvements are recorded on a mid C18 plan (private collection).
During the C19 an extensive programme of re-planting both in the gardens and the parkland,
and the addition of conifer planting, both in large parcels and in numerous clumps,
was carried out.
The Bond family continued to own Creech Grange throughout the C18 and C19. In 1942
the Grange Arch was passed to the National Trust, while the remainder of the estate
was sold out of the family in the late C20.
DESCRIPTION
LOCATION, AREA, BOUNDARIES, LANDFORM, SETTING Creech Grange is situated c 5km south-south-west
of Wareham and c 1.5km north of the village of Steeple, beneath the north-facing slope
of the Purbeck Hills. The c 135ha site comprises some 12ha of gardens and pleasure
grounds, c 58ha of parkland, and c 48ha of ornamental plantation known as Great Wood,
which formed part of the early-C18 landscape. It also includes approximately 18ha
of C19 plantations to the north. The site is adjoined to the west by areas of woodland,
and to the north and east by agricultural land. To the south the site is bounded by
open downland on the ridge of the Purbeck Hills. The site slopes steeply from south
to north, with the north-facing escarpment of the Purbeck Hills being covered by Great
Wood. The ground continues to slope northwards below the wood to a minor road which
leads west from Creech to East Lulworth, and which passes c 50m south of the house.
The ground around the house is level, while to the west a valley drops away towards
Little Wood. There are extensive northerly views across heathland north of the site
from Grange Arch on the summit of Grange Hill, and from walks within Great Wood.
ENTRANCES AND APPROACHES Creech Grange is approached from a minor road to the north-east,
at a point opposite the junction of that road and another minor road which leads east
to East Creech. A straight drive extends west-south-west from the entrance for c 130m
to reach the carriage court below the east facade of the house. The court is enclosed
to the north and south by C18 brick walls with stone coping (listed Grade II). The
north wall is partly screened by yews and evergreen shrubbery, while the centre of
the court is filled by an elliptical lawn. To the north-west and south-west of the
court, wrought-iron gates supported by rusticated stone piers under ball finials (listed
Grade II) lead respectively to the stable yard and service court north of the house,
and to a gravel walk extending beneath the south facade of the house.
The east drive remains essentially unchanged from the approach shown on the mid-C18
estate plan and the late-C19 OS map (1888).
PRINCIPAL BUILDING Creech Grange (listed Grade I) stands on an artificially levelled
terrace towards the centre of its park. The house is constructed in ashlar under stone
slate roofs and comprises two storeys and an attic. The east or entrance facade is
Tudor-gothic in style and has a full-height projecting central porch and projecting
gabled wings at each end of the facade. The facade is lit by mullioned windows, while
the south-east wing is lit by a C16 oriel window. The east facade was rebuilt in its
present form by the Rev Nathaniel Bond in 1846.
The south facade is classical in style and comprises seven bays, with a projecting
central section beneath a pediment. The corners of the central section and the outer
corners of the facade are articulated by rusticated quoins, while the facade is surmounted
by a balustraded parapet. A central, part-glazed door is flanked by Tuscan pilasters
and surmounted by an entablature, and the facade is lit by sash windows. The south
elevation was constructed in 1738-41 for Denis Bond who employed Francis Cartwright
of Blandford Forum as his architect.
The service ranges to the north of the house are constructed in rubble stone and were
built at various dates.
GARDENS AND PLEASURE GROUNDS A formal lawn extends to the south of the house, while
formal gardens leading to an extensive area of informal pleasure grounds lie to the
west of the building.
The south lawn is approximately square on plan and is bounded to the north by a gravel
terrace extending beneath the south facade of the house. Further tree-lined gravel
walks delineate the east and west sides of the lawn, while to the south it is enclosed
by a ha-ha and hedge separating it from the minor road leading west to East Lulworth.
The south lawn corresponds to a lawn shown on the mid C18 plan; it is not known whether
the octagonal fountain basin shown in the centre of this lawn on the plan was constructed.
An area of trees and shrubbery to the west of the lawn, and a similar area, The Rookery,
to the east of the lawn appear to correspond to two groves with radiating walks shown
on the mid C18 plan. The walks do not survive in the form shown on the plan.
To the west of the house there is an area of level lawn affording views across the
park, while to the west-north-west a rectangular sunken lawn is approached by stone
steps at its south-east and north-east corners. The lawn is laid out as a formal garden
with geometrical flower beds and a circular fountain basin. Beyond the formal garden,
at a slightly lower level and on the same axis, a rectangular canal extends c 130m
west-north-west towards Little Wood. The banks of the canal are planted with specimen
trees and shrubs, while mown grass walks extend along its northern and southern banks.
At its western end, adjacent to the remains of a statue, the canal discharges over
a cascade into the first of a series of three irregular-shaped ponds which extend
north-west through the informal pleasure grounds in Little Wood. The ponds are linked
by further cascades, while a network of serpentine walks connects a series of straight
formal glades cut through the woodland. The remains of a temple or other garden building
survive at the intersection of the principal north to south and south-west to north-east
glades c 360m west of the house.
A walk passing along the north side of the sunken lawn west-north-west of the house
turns north-north-west through the pleasure grounds to reach the chapel of St John
the Evangelist (listed Grade II*) which stands in a walled enclosure planted with
mature Lebanon cedars and other conifers. The chapel was built by Denis Bond in 1746
and incorporates a C12 chancel arch removed by Bond from East Holme Priory, or Bindon
Abbey (both Dorset), and appears to have been intended to serve as a feature in his
landscape scheme. The chapel was rebuilt by the Rev Nathaniel Bond in the mid C19.
The formal gardens and informal pleasure grounds in Little Wood are not delineated
on the mid C18 plan, but appear to have been developed by Denis Bond c 1740. The formal
gardens remain little changed from their appearance in early C20 photographs. The
pleasure grounds were altered in the C19 with the introduction of specimen trees and
ornamental shrubbery, and by the late C20 these areas had become overgrown and neglected.
A conservation programme has been implemented since 1979.
PARK The park lies principally to the north, south and south-east of Creech Grange
and remains (2009) predominantly pasture with scattered trees. The park is crossed
from east to west by the minor road running from Creech to East Lulworth, and from
north to south-south-west by the minor road running from Creech to Tyneham. These
roads converge c 190m south-east of the house, while a third road extends parallel
to the northern boundary of the park from the entrance to Creech Grange to East Creech.
To the north-west the park is bounded by Great Plantation and Louisa's Firs while
to the south it is bounded by Great Wood which clothes the north-facing escarpment
of the Purbeck Hills.
To the south of the house, and on an axis with it, blocks of planting and a pair of
stone urns set on pedestals frame the northern end of a vista cut through Great Wood
to Creech Arch which stands on the crest of the escarpment c 500m south-south-east
of the house. Creech Arch (listed Grade II*) is constructed in ashlar and comprises
a central arched opening surmounted by crenellations, which is flanked by lower wing
walls in which are set square-headed openings. These are in turn flanked by lower
wing walls, and the changes in height are marked by pyramidal finials. The arch was
constructed by Denis Bond before 1746 to serve as an eyecatcher from the Grange. The
southern vista is delineated on the mid-C18 garden plan with a circular lawn leading
to three radiating glades, the central one aligned on a single arch and the other
two aligned on pyramids or squat obelisks. It is unclear whether this scheme was ever
realised, and the radiating glades are not shown on the 1888 OS map.
A series of contoured walks extends through Great Wood, allowing views across Creech
Grange and its park and across the level heathland in the valley of the River Frome
to the north of the site. The parkland to the north of the house is framed by the
mid- and late-C19 plantations, Great Plantation and Louisa's Firs, and is ornamented
with individual trees, particularly along the watercourse that runs west - east, and
by tree planting on the knoll of Carrot Bank and a small triangular plantation of
oaks to the south. The approach road from Wareham to the north east which was straightened
sometime between 1765 and 1805 provides a sequence of views across the parkland with
the Chapel of St John the Evangelist to the south west acting as a landscape feature.
At the northern edge of Great Plantation is Drinking Barrow, a prehistoric burial
mound (scheduled monument, SM 28309) that was planted with a clump of fir and pine,
probably during the first half of the C18. It is considered that it provided a key
focal point in the landscape and it aligns with one of the main vistas in Little Wood
to the south.
KITCHEN GARDEN The kitchen garden is situated c 20m north-west of the house and immediately
north-west of the stables and service yard. Approximately parallelogram-shaped on
plan, the garden is enclosed by brick walls with stone coping. A doorway in the centre
of the south wall allows access to the garden from the formal gardens west of the
house. The majority of the garden is now (2004) laid to lawn, with some vegetable
beds remaining towards the north-east corner together with a range of glasshouses
against the inner face of the north wall. A frame yard with bothies and further glasshouses
remains to the north of the kitchen garden and south-east of the churchyard. The gardener's
cottage stands on the west side of this yard, abutting the north wall of the kitchen
garden.
The kitchen garden appears to have been constructed by Denis Bond in the mid C18 as
part of his scheme of improvements. It is not shown on the mid C18 garden plan, but
the late C19 OS map (1888) shows the garden in its present form with an internal layout
comprising a central north to south walk, perimeter walks, and a series of transverse
walks. A glasshouse is shown in the position of the surviving structure, and the frame
yard, glasshouses, and gardener's cottage conform to the features surviving today
(2004).

REASON FOR DESIGNATION The gardens and parkland at Creech Grange are designated at
Grade II* for the following principal reasons: * Design: the layout of the mid-C18
pleasure gardens has survived substantially intact and has retained its relationship
to the house. * Wider landscape: sufficient historic landscaping survives to reflect
the original design of the parkland and includes features such as carriage drives,
contoured walks and planting, introduced at various dates from the mid-C18 * Historical
development: as a designed landscape of the C18 and C19 incorporating earlier archaeological
features, namely two prehistoric burial mounds (both scheduled ancient monuments)
which form key focal points in the landscape * Group value: they have strong group
value with a number of listed buildings and provide the setting for an important Grade
I listed mansion, contributing to the understanding of the historic development of
the site and to its overall design
