Hampton Court 2000
Hyde Hall

In 1955 when Dr. and Mrs. Robinson came to Hyde Hall there were
only six trees on the top of a windswept hill and no garden. For centuries Hyde Hall had
been a working farm and the area around the house was a dumping ground for rubbish! The
house which dates back to the 18th century is a typical Essex farmhouse of timber frame,
lath and plaster. Records show that there has been a dwelling on this site since the Tudor
times.
The garden continues to be a work in progress but has much to offer
even at the present time ... I have included pictures of the house so you can see how
plain it was plus some of the surrounding gardens. Being at the top of the hill offered a
fantastic view of the surrounding countryside.
