2.5. Wixenford Bottom and Farm

History

Like Pomphlett Barton, Wixenford was owned by the Dukes of Bedford until the early nineteenth century but had been acquired by the Earl of Morley before 1841 when it is recorded in his freehold on the Plymstock tithe award. Although it may not have been secured immediately, in the negotiations of 1805-06, Lord Boringdon showed a particular desire to secure Wixenford as well as Pomphlett Barton, as part of his efforts to secure the complete visual envelope of Saltram, and because of the access the valley affords into the heart of the Saltram landscape (DRO, L1258M/SS/C/DL101).

The planting has been identified as c1770 (NPA, 1999, 42). A narrow band of tree- planting along the road between the farm and the eastern end of the creek which became Chelson Meadow is recorded as early as 1785 [see Fig.16]. By 1809, it appears to have been planted with two more substantial strips of woodland on either side of its valley [Fig.26]. The 1869 Ordnance Survey appears to show tree- plantingalong both the centre and on the slopes although the 1881 OS does not make such a distinction.

The 1869 OS also indicates a drive running down the centre, lined with trees. It certainly shows a drive on the north side of the valley running along the edge of the plantation and the open fields. This is shown to be a metalled surface on the 1881 OS. The 1907 OS indicates both the metalled drive and a less formal drive along the edge of the stream in the bottom of the valley, the two drives meeting at the northern end of the valley, where a wall crosses the valley, with a gate to allow the drive through [Fig.27].

The ridge south of Wixenford Farm, was never parkland or managed as parkland, remaining part of the land leased to the tenant of Wixenford Farm after it was acquired by Lord Boringdon in the early nineteenth century. However, it forms the skyline of the view from a number of sensitive points within the registered park. In addition, the Beech plantation on the south of Colesdown Hill adjacent to the road into Wixenford Bottom, is a designed skyline feature in views from .

Wixenford Brake was probably planted around 1770, and the field boundaries are largely unchanged since 1786 (NPA 1990, 42). The plantation to the east of Wixenford Brake is relatively recent and foreshortens the views from the house shown on the 1869 Ordnance Survey.

Bickham Farm was removed some time after 1786 and although woodland on the upper slopes of Bickham Meadows had been lost by 1840, the field boundaries were little altered (NPA 1999, 40). East of this, Barn Park was probably also remodelled from narrow strip fields and the access lane to Bickham Farm by John Parker III after 1809; the strip fields or burgage plots had been ploughed up by 1840 (NPA 1999, 41)

The Setting of Saltram Park, Part Two, The Parks Agency, January 2007 21 The Belt was designed by John Parker III, and was being planted in 1801 when he described it and drew a sketch plan of it in a letter to Anne Robinson (BL Add MS 48218, f.96v).

Wixenford Quarry has been identified as part of the essential setting of the designed landscape in NPA 1999, fig.1: its visual relationship is shown in Fig.29.

Character

The eastern end of the valley around Wixenford Farm is now dominated by a sprawl of light-industrial use. However, this is contained to the west by bunding, below which the wooded slopes survive. There are one or two clumps of laurel in the woodland on the south side indicating an ornamental or game-cover role, while beside the drive on the north side a pair of Pines and a large dead Oak remain from the ornamental planting associated with the drive [Fig.28]. At the western end where the valley meets Chelson Meadow, flood alleviation earthworks and ditching have created a small formal area out of keeping with the eighteenth-century landscape. The farm buildings are listed and retain a good deal of their historic interest and character.

The farmland in the triangle between Wixenford Bottom, Colesdown Hill and the Belt is important in views north to the house from Colesdown Hill, the view painted by William Tomkins in 1778. The southern part is well-maintained as grazing land, but the northern slopes down to the Belt are semi-derelict and encroached upon by scrub. While the southern slopes are invisible from within the existing registered parkland, the northern slopes are prominent in views from the Belt.

Recommendation

Because of its role in the early nineteenth-century circuit and views, it is recommended that the drive and plantation in Wixenford Bottom be included within the registered boundary; failing this, it should be demarcated as part of the essential setting of the boundary as it currently stands. We agree with the recommendation by NPA (NPA, 1999, Fig. 1) that the northern part of the farmland between Wixenford Bottom and the Belt be considered essential setting.

The Setting of Saltram Park, Part Two, The Parks Agency, January 2007 23 Amados Hill

History

No evidence for the origins of this name has come to light in the archives, nor indeed is there any use of the name in the estate papers examined. The 1785 OSD shows the north slope below Hardwick Plantation divided into three fields, one much larger than the others. These descend to a hedgerow beyond which there are a number of smaller enclosures [see Fig.7]. By 1809 this lower area is named Underwood, and the three upper fields have been amalgamated to form a substantial open slope which survives to this day [see Fig.8]. Given the importance of this land in views from the Triumphal Arch (1783), the hedgerows were probably removed closer to 1785 than 1809. By 1869 it is named Amados Hill [Fig.30]. Although there is no evidence that it was ever planted up as parkland, the amalgamation may have been inspired by a desire to create a suitable foreground to views from the woodland edge path in Hardwick Plantation. .

Twentieth-century residential development has occupied all the small fields to the north but has preserved the original hedge-line and the residential properties’ boundaries are in several places marked not only by mature hedgerow Oaks but also by fragments of bank [Fig.31].

Character

The long strip of open grassland, now dotted with gorse but otherwise treeless, is dominated by the hanging woodland of Hardwick Plantation, in which a number of ature trees, principally Beech, are an important element. The skyline still shows the effects of the 1990 storms with a number of mature close-grown trees now exposed. The presence of the hedgerow Oaks at the foot of Amados Hill gives the landscape a mature semi-parkland character [Fig.32] which is especially evident in the views towards Saltram from the Triumphal Arch [Fig.33]. Despite the loss of similar pasture land west of Hardwick Plantation to the A38, Amados Hill still plays a significant role in creating a visual link between Hardwick and the parkland around the house when viewed from the north. The field is also visually prominent in wider views [see e.g. Fig.12].

Recommendation

For these visual reasons, and as an integral part of the late eighteenth-century landscape improvements, it is recommended that Amados Hill should be included within the Register boundary. Failing this, it should be demarcated as part of the essential setting of the boundary as it currently stands.

History

Standing on the south-facing hillside at Boringdon, some 2.5km north of Saltram House, the ‘Triumphal Arch’ was designed by Robert Adam in 1782 and built the following year [Fig.34]. The Arch was Adam’s final commission at Saltram, and was designed as an eyecatcher in a particular view from Saltram House, as Anne Robinson made clear in a letter to her brother of 6 July 1783: ‘the Arch Mr Parker is building is a very fine object from the Eating room windows and as a keepers lodge and entrance into the Park has its use. I believe you saw Mr. Adam’s design for it.’ (BL Add MS 48218 f.62). It also served as a focal-point or eye-catcher viewed from numerous locations within the designed landscape (see Significant Views below).

The Boringdon estate had been acquired by the Parker family in 1583, although they had already been renting the property for at least twenty years2. In the late sixteenth or early seventeenth century the mediaeval house at Boringdon was rebuilt, and presumably at the same period a large deer park was enclosed on high ground to the north-west of the house. The park is not recorded on either Saxton’s survey (1579), or Speed’s Map of Devon (1610); however it was in existence by the early eighteenth century when an unidentified designer drew a plan of elaborate formal gardens in the style of William Kent3. While there is no evidence on the ground to suggest that this garden scheme was executed, the deer park was retained even after the family moved their principal seat to Saltram in 1743.

By the early nineteenth century, Boringdon House was in a state of decay and let to an agricultural tenant. The park, however, was preserved, although by 1841 areas within it were in arable cultivation4. In 1806 Polwhele remarked, ‘The Park is extensive being about 300 acres and some part of it abounds with remarkably fine oak trees. The situation is fine and bold and commands very extensive and beautiful views’5. In 1822 Lysons noted the dilapidated state of Boringdon House, but noted ‘adjoining to this old mansion is an extensive deer park’6; while as late as 1850, White commented that Boringdon was ‘now a farmhouse, but its deer park is still preserved as an adjunct to the grounds of Saltram’7.

2 Visitation of Devon, 1564: John Parker is recorded as the tenant of Boringdon, then belonging to the Mayhew family. John Parker’s grandson, also John Parker, married Frances Mayhew, heiress to the Boringdon property, in 1583. 3 RIBA Drawings Collection – reproduced as Fig 34, G Jackson-Stops, An English Arcadia 1600-1990 (1991), pp 61-2. The legend to the plan refers to The Grove of Oaks, The old Gardens and Part of the warren (west of the house) ‘To be Took into the Park’. 4 Devon Record Office: Tithe map and apportionment for the parish of St Mary, 1841: Higher Park, Lower Park, Crodes Piece, South Park, Home Park, Hill Park, Higher Middle Park, Quarry Park and the Warren were all in arable cultivation as part of Boringdon Farm let to James Butland. 5 R Polwhele, The History of Devonshire (1793-1806), III, p 452 6 D & S Lysons, Magna Britannia: Devon (1822), II p 412 7 W White, History, Gazeteer and Directory of Devonshire (1850) – quoted by T Gray, The Garden History of Devon (1995), p 51. Somewhat surprisingly, E P Shirley writing in 1867 does not refer to Boringdon in his discussion of historic or extant deer parks in Devon – E P Shirley, Some Account of English Deer Parks (1867). This appears to be a simple error of omission.

The Setting of Saltram Park, Part Two, The Parks Agency, January 2007 26 While the site chosen by Robert Adam and John Parker for the Triumphal Arch lay outside and to the west of Boringdon Park, it is clear that the park, as an ‘adjunct to the grounds of Saltram’, was intended to be an integral part of the way in which the Arch was to function in relation to the overall Saltram landscape. A ride to Boringdon is referred to as being ‘much improv’d’ as early as August 1772 (BL Add MS 48218, f.30), and in November 1796, Anne Robinson reported that five clumps were to be planted in the field before the arch, because the hills beyond were sadly lacking in trees (WDRO 1259/2/304).

The 1841 tithe map and the 6” Ordnance Survey (1859)8 [Fig.35] shows that the Triumphal Arch was approached from the west from Boringdon House via the deer park, and there is no evidence of a direct approach to the Arch from the south. The drive emerged from the park through a gateway on the minor road leading from Plympton to Plym Bridge, crossed the road and then entered a plantation through a further set of rounded gate piers, which still survive. The drive swept through the plantation to approach the Triumphal Arch from the north, and it was only at this point, as the visitor reached the open arch, that the dramatic view to the south and Saltram was revealed. The design of the route to screen and delay its visual climax to a culminating ‘burst of prospect’ is a fine example of a well-known device in eighteenth-century landscape garden design.

The Arch stands on the southern boundary of the plantation, immediately adjoining what in 1841 was an arable field forming part of Woodford Farm9 [Fig.36]. The plantation, described in the Tithe Apportionment as ‘Triumphal Arch Plantation – house and plantation’ is, significantly, recorded under the heading of Saltram, rather than Woodford Farm, and remained in hand to the Earl of Morley.

The Arch was designed with a lodge attached to its northern side. While this structure is now derelict and largely lost, it was evidently a single-storey building with a cellar or basement. As well as housing a keeper, it is likely that the lodge also served the practical purpose of providing visitors with refreshment and shelter after their drive or ride to admire the view.

The Setting of Saltram Park, Part Two, The Parks Agency, January 2007 28 Character

Although the Boringdon estate was sold by the Parker family in the 1920s, the arch and lodge were retained until they were finally sold in 1961 (Sale particulars, WCSL) after which the lodge and Arch fell into disrepair. A bungalow was built c 1930 on a small parcel of land10 to the south-east of the Arch and plantation, and in recent years work has begun on the formation of a golf course on the land to the south of the Arch and plantation, and within Boringdon Park to the north-east. The latter work has led to the substantial disruption of the route leading from Boringdon House to the Arch, although the park wall, western park gate, the Arch Plantation and the drive leading through the plantation all survive intact.

The Triumphal Arch and the attached lodge structures are listed Grade II*, and are included by English Heritage on the Register of Buildings at Risk at priority level C. The red brick structure of the Arch appears to be relatively sound, though stucco on the western wing wall is in a poor condition; it is unclear whether Adam intended the whole structure to be stuccoed to resemble stone; a lighter surface treatment would have made the Arch more visible from Saltram and is therefore likely. The lodge to the rear (north-west) of the Arch is in a ruinous condition, as is the store room to the rear (north-east).

The plantation survives essentially intact within the boundaries delineated on the Tithe map (1841)11, and it is reasonable to assume that this in turn corresponds to the setting formed by John Parker for the Arch at the time of its construction in 1783. The woodland retains several mature trees including a beech adjacent to the drive, which corresponds in size and stature to those known to have been planted in the late eighteenth century in the park at Saltram and in Hardwick Plantation. The plantation is enclosed from surrounding farmland (and the new golf course) by hedge banks, although those on the southern boundary have been eroded by the golf course construction works.

The view from the Arch remains dramatic [Fig.37], encompassing the whole of the designed landscape at Saltram, as well as a view down the Laira to Plymouth Sound, the Breakwater and out to sea; Mount Edgcumbe is also clearly visible to the south- west. Despite the twentieth century development which has taken place around Plympton and Plymouth and the present earth-moving activity associated with the golf course in the foreground, this view remains outstandingly picturesque and is still a key vantage point from which to appreciate the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century improvements undertaken in the landscape at Saltram. To the east, the view is framed by Hardwick Plantation, with the large pasture enclosure of Amados Hill forming a park-like foreground. The North East Park and clump, spilling over the ridge on to the north-facing slope below Merrafield, forms a visual link to the core of the park around the house, which is also clearly visible. From this vantage point, the park is framed by the further plantations at Pomphlett to the south and Saltram Wood

The Setting of Saltram Park, Part Two, The Parks Agency, January 2007 29 to the west, and by the Laira itself. The Amphitheatre is noticeable against the background of Saltram Wood, just as the Triumphal Arch is designed to be seen against the background of its plantation from the Amphitheatre bastion and other vantage points within the Saltram landscape.

Recommendation

It has not been recognised before that the Triumphal Arch at Boringdon and its associated plantation are in fact an integral and significant element of the designed landscape at Saltram. It is therefore proposed that they should be included as a detached outlying area within the Register boundary for Saltram. Their importance should also be recognised in the demarcation of significant views.

Although Boringdon Park was regarded in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century as an ‘adjunct’ to the Saltram landscape, in view of its distinct and separate earlier development, it is not proposed that this area should be included within the Register boundary. Similarly, the south-facing slope below the Triumphal Arch and plantation, which in the nineteenth century comprised arable land, and which today (2007) is being developed as a golf course, is not proposed for inclusion.

2.7 Stag Lodge

History

The Stag Lodge entrance was developed as part of the early nineteenth-century landscape design under John Parker III [Fig.38]. Like the Hardwick approach it was designed to make the entrance ‘seam farther off’, to extend the sense of property and to afford greater display of the landscape. The listed pair of lodges were originally built in 1773 to designs by Robert Adam, at the Merafield entrance, and were re-built at the Hardwick entrance before being finally erected here in 1824. The stags are thought to date from 1783 (NPA 1999, appendix 2). Opposite the lodges, the Drake Memorial Park was established c1942.

Character

The lodges, piers, and railings are listed in recognition of their architectural and historic interest. An early C19 Oak adjacent, as well as unusually elaborate stone kerbing at the junction of Colesdown Hill and Haye Road suggest a distinct design element in the landscape setting of these structures [Fig.39.]. The Drake Memorial Park entrance gates and walls have a semi-circular apron similar to the Stag Lodges and a number of ornamental trees [Fig.40]. The cemetery is prominent in the designed view not only from Stag Lodge but also from Hardwick Plantation.

Recommendation

The Register boundary should be extended to include the apron in front of the lodges: if not, it should be recognised as part of the essential setting. The importance of the immediate designed landscape of the lodges at the junction of Colesdown Hill and Haye Road, and the visual sensitivity of the Drake Memorial Park should be recognised as part of Saltram’s essential setting.

The Setting of Saltram Park, Part Two, The Parks Agency, January 2007 30 Development further east would, as discussed in Part One, have indirect effects on Saltram’s landscape setting and, as indicated in the Margam wind farm judgement referred to in Part One, it is important to recognise that development adjacent to the mapped setting, can also have a harmful impact. Our mapping, based on the principles established by Cadw, is restricted to ‘essential’ setting, which is only part of the layered concept shown in Part One Fig.4.

As Joseph Farringdon observed on visiting Saltram in 1809, ‘Many of the situations command extensive views of the adjacent country’. It is noteworthy that, as a key characteristic of Saltram, Farringdon refers to extensive views in the plural. It is natural that the Parkers capitalised on its hilly topography to create such views by taking routes around the higher ground.

3.1. Hardwick Plantation

The elaborate network of drives and paths around Hardwick Plantation was designed to command an unfolding series of views [see Fig. 7]. From the Hardwick approach, along the south side of the Plantation, it is clear that there was a view southwards towards Sherford [Fig.41], and probably an early glimpse of the house, although the latter is now obscured.

On the north side, the drive would have afforded filtered views northwards to Boringdon arch, but subsidiary walks took the viewer to the edge of the wood for a much clearer prospect which included the foreground of grazed land on Amados Hill [Fig.42].

3.2. Pomphlett Plantation and Wixenford

The view from the high ground east of Pomphlett Plantation and above the eastern end of Wixenford Bottom was the subject of one of the three larger estate views by William Tomkins, dated 1778, now hanging in Saltram House. This is a strong indication of the importance placed on this viewpoint. [Fig.45] It displayed the house at the centre of its parkland and agricultural landscape, demonstrating the importance accorded to the latter. Once the Triumphal Arch was built in 1783, that too would also have been a significant feature in this view. The view has changed very little since Tomkins [Fig.46]. Tomkins’ view seems to be located slightly west of the view which would have been presented as the ride through the Plantation emerged at its eastern end, and we have therefore pinpointed this as a second viewpoint, although artistic license may have played some part in the composition of the painting.

3.3. The Castle

[Fig.43] The castle is a good example of a gazebo, built not only to be seen but to command designed views. It was built 1772-73 to a design by Stockman, the estate builder. It is an octagonal building, with four windows which allowed a 360o compass of views, and was located at the western end of the gardens, on ground which falls away sharply to the west and north. The windows indicate the direction of the designed views, north-west, north-east, south-east and south-west. Those north and west have been lost to later planting and tree growth but the building still commands the southerly views across the parkland to the Pomphlett ridge [Fig.44]

The Setting of Saltram Park, Part Two, The Parks Agency, January 2007 36 3.4. Saltram House

In any landscape park, the view from the principal rooms and the front steps is a key consideration. Saltram’s principal front is its south front and, with bays at either end on both storeys, it was clearly designed to maximise its views of the landscape in this direction. The entrance porch was added in 1820.

The 1869 OS indicates a number of carefully composed views from the south front, channelled and framed by tree-planting. Within the overall panorama, two are particularly noticeable. One is south-west, framed on the west by a triangular group of open grown trees near the house towards the Pomphlett ridge; the second is south east, and runs through two gaps in the plantations to the skyline planting of Beech on south of Colesdown Hill [Fig.47].

The Setting of Saltram Park, Part Two, The Parks Agency, January 2007 37 3.5. Stag Lodge drive

As described in 2.8, the construction of the Stag Lodge drive was designed to create an unfolding landscape experience as the visitor approached the house, with alternate wide views and close planting. Thus, immediately within the gates and for two hundred metres further, views westward are deliberately screened by planting. The planting then thins out to allow a broad prospect westward between specimen Pines over Chelson Meadow towards Plymouth [Fig.48]. The drive then enters the plantation at the eastern end of the Belt before emerging at the gate piers to command a panorama, which includes the house itself in its parkland setting. The panorama extends from the parkland east of the house to the north, to the Pomphlett ridge in the south-west [Fig.49]

3.6. Boringdon or Triumphal Arch

The designed view of the Triumphal Arch at Boringdon from the bay windows in the dining room is now obscured by nineteenth-century shrubbery planting immediately outside, and by the tree growth beyond. However, the Arch remains a notable feature in long views around the estate. For example, it is clearly visible from the amphitheatre, as well as from the north-east parkland, from Pomphlett Plantation and Wixenford, and from the north side of Hardwick Plantation. It also served as the culmination of a drive from Saltram via Boringdon House, as described above, providing sweeping views across the whole of the Saltram designed landscape and beyond to Plymouth Sound and the sea (see Fig.36).

3.7. The Amphitheatre

The Amphitheatre was designed as a specific destination in the pleasure grounds and as well as its architectural features, such as the gladiator statue and grotto-work, was designed to command views outwards in a panorama from Mount Edgcumbe, now obscured, to the Triumphal Arch, still visible [Fig.50].

3.8. Saltram Point

Saltram Point still commands extensive views of the Laira, the bridge and the city [Fig.51]. In the early nineteenth century there would have been in addition the picturesque appearance of the shipping at Catwater. The quay and former bath-house here would have made the point a natural destination on the circuit of the pleasure grounds.

3.9. Chelson Lodge.

Chelson Lodge, built by 1815 (see Fig.5), marked the entrance to the grounds at Saltram and would have been widely used after the opening of the Laira bridge in 1824: the view towards the house and park across the meadow would have been extremely important, and indeed, as mentioned in s.2.1, pasture was extended in the meadow in 1843 ‘to beautify the drive to Saltram’. The lodge and the view have now both vanished.
