We were delighted to receive two prestigious BALI National Landscape Awards for this project in both the 'Hard Landscaping £300,000 to £1.5 million' and the 'Restoration and Regeneration' categories. The judges praised the project and commented "The restoration work was undertaken with considerable skill particularly during the operations around the actual Museum and the need to protect the foundations. Part of the project was the re-introduction of the outline of the former moat and the establishment of the formal gardens to fully reflect the original features of the Hall. The hard paving, kerbing and timber works have been skillfully executed."

““The whole park has been restored magnificently thanks to a major grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Horticon’s work has been to change the shape of the lake by infilling part of it, and creating a new liner to the sides of the lake. The overall picture transforms the previous landscape. It may have taken a lot of heavy machinery to do it, but what they have created is a piece of art.” ”
