Notes

  • Owned by NT; some recesses are partially or completely filled in; earth has been piled against wall, hiding bases of some; there may have been more bee boles in this wall (modern hives kept here by Wimbledon BKA in 1990s); reported that wall is being cleared

    A survey of Morden Hall Park stable block in 2009 by Oxford Archaeology included a description of the orchard, apiary area and bee boles. See Summary, page 1, and Building Assessment and Survey sections 4.1.3 & 4.1.4, page 14: https://library.thehumanjourney.net/171/

    Morden Hall Park is a Grade II Registered Park/Garden, List number 1001336
