"exclusive of timber to be valued" from twenty-five year old

It was William George who planted many of the trees, 

including a magnificent avenue of limes leading from the original gatehouse to the Castle.

The present gatehouse was built in 1922 following purchase of of the estate 

by Sir Edward Wills from Major "Ian" Bullough.
