Well-preserved landscape park with designs by Capability Brown, c 1764, William Emes,
c 1793, and John Webb, early C19.
HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT
At the time of the Domesday survey, the manor of Dodington belonged to the family
of Berkeley of Dursley, whose line ended in 1382. It came by marriage into the Wekys
family, who sold it in the late C16 to Giles Codrington. The estate was bought from
his relatives by General Christopher Codrington (d 1710), governor of the Leeward
Islands in c 1700. In 1712, Atkyns notes that Sir William Codrington, the General's
son, 'hath a large house near the Church, and very large and beautiful gardens, and
a great Estate in this Parish' (Atkyns 1712). The title of baronet was granted to
the Codringtons of Dodington in 1721. Alexander Pope visited in 1728 and described
the house as, 'pretty enough, the situation romantic, covered with woody hills, stumbling
upon one another confusedly, and the garden makes a valley between them with some
mounts and waterfalls' (quoted in Harding and Lambert 1994).
The building of the original house, replaced by the present Wyatt house, is dated
to the time of Henry VIII by Leland, who also refers to 'the olde place of Dodington'
being 'withyn the mote, by the new' (Mowl 2002). Atkyns (1712) ascribes it to Robert
Wekys in the time of Queen Mary. Mid to late C16 in date, it was an H-plan, gabled
house, located beside the River Frome which rises in the park and which fed a series
of mill ponds and a small canal. A large walled garden stood on the area later occupied
by the southern end of the early C19 lake.
The wealth of this branch of the Codrington family derived from extensive sugar plantations
in the West Indies and the C18 and early C19 saw large sums invested in the estate.
William, the first baronet, died in 1738 but his son, also William, who then inherited
at the age of nineteen, lived until 1792. He did relatively little to the House, although
it appears to have been at least refenestrated in the early C18, but he did address
the landscape, commissioning designs, of which no record has yet come to light, by
Lancelot Brown (1716-83), who was paid £1368 for two contracts between 1764 and 1767.
On the death of the second baronet in 1792, the estate was inherited by his great-nephew,
Sir Christopher Bethel Codrington (1764-1843), MP for Tewkesbury. Codrington was a
close friend of James Wyatt (1746-1813), who was commissioned to make substantial
alterations to the house. Codrington also commissioned further landscape improvements
by William Emes (1747-1813) and John Webb (1754-1828) who prepared a plan in 1793;
later proposals of c 1820 are signed by John Dowding, surveyor, who may have been
responsible for elements of the new design.
The estate remained intact throughout the C19 and most of the C20 until it was broken
up in the 1980s. In the late 1970s Major S F B Codrington developed it as a popular
local amenity, with adventure playground, shops, children's farm, miniature railway
etc. In 1981 however parts of the park were sold off, and in 1984 the House and grounds
were also sold. The House, gardens, and immediate parkland were bought in that year
by Mr M P Kent, who after carrying out much restoration work, sold the property to
Mr and Mrs Harding. The House and some 121ha of land are currently again on the market
(November 2002).
DESCRIPTION
LOCATION, AREA, BOUNDARIES, LANDFORM, SETTING Dodington Park comprises some 240ha
on the west-facing slopes of the southern Cotswolds, c 4km east of Chipping Sodbury.
Its eastern boundary is formed by the A46, Bath to Stroud road, and its north and
north-west boundary by the A432, Chippenham to Sodbury road. The village of Dodington
stands immediately outside the west entrance, c 300m north-west of the House, while
the south-west boundary is formed by the lane that runs from the village to the A46.
From the Bath to Stroud road the land descends c 200m to the level where the House
is located, affording the variety much commented on by visitors. In the early C19
Brewer noted:
'The power of contrast is seldom more forcibly exhibited than to the traveller who
quits the uninteresting adjacent country, and enters the domain of Dodington. This
lovely territory would, indeed, seem to stand by itself, quite unconnected with the
surrounding scenery'. (Brewer 1825-7)
ENTRANCES AND APPROACHES The principal approach to the House descends from the Bath
to Stroud road, entering the park some 1.5km south-south east of the House via two
massive rusticated gate piers, set in the centre of a 90m wide semicircle of cast-iron
railings (piers, dwarf wall, and railings early C19, listed grade II), at the southern
end of which stands James Wyatt's Bath Lodge (1796-1816, listed grade I), a circular
Tuscan tempietto with a shallow dome. The approach leads north-west through a perimeter
belt and Dodington Wood before descending a long S-curve down the scarp, straightening
out as it turns north into a shallow valley to obtain a composed view of the House
at the northern end standing beside a lake, with a hanging wood and standard parkland
trees on the east side. It then runs along the west side of the valley, with further
views framed by large beech, oak, and lime, to a forecourt on the west side of the
House. Brown's composition originally included a lake south of the existing south
lake, to create the impression of a serpentine river in this view.
A short straight service drive leads 200m directly to the stable block from the village
on the western boundary of the park via an early C19 lodge (listed grade II) and C19
gate piers (listed grade II). This approach crosses a bridge (early C19, listed grade
II), under which the north drive curves round to approach the House from the west;
the bridge has volcanic stone ornamenting the tunnel. In c 1810, a short serpentine
drive was laid out to continue this route over a second bridge (also listed grade
II) to the west front of the House.
The north drive approaches from the A432, Chippenham to Sodbury road to the north.
The entrance is marked by the Chippenham Lodge (early C19, listed grade II*), built
after the park was extended into northern area in the early C19.
This approach follows the foot of the scarp for some 700m before entering the pleasure
grounds over an early C19 stone bridge which crosses a pool fed by one of the numerous
springs on the scarp, c 500m north-east of the House. A second bridge with a cascade
beneath it lies c 50m south-east. The cascade emerges from under an ogee arch with
a keystone mask, and was evidently designed to be seen from the approach; its design
has been attributed to Christopher Bethel Codrington (Mowl 2002). The drive then runs
200m south-west to a point between the walled garden and the north-east corner of
the north lake, before turning west round the north side of the lake and then south-west
to curve around to enter the forecourt from the west, via a drive laid out c 1810.
PRINCIPAL BUILDING Dodington House (listed grade I) was built between 1796 and c 1816
to designs by James Wyatt, although work on the sumptuous interiors continued until
the 1820s. It is a Roman classical country house, constructed of Bath stone ashlar
with a slate roof. Each facade is different; the main entrance front, dominated by
an enormous portico, faces west, overlooking a forecourt with a late C20 topiary layout,
to the rising parkland beyond. The east front has two full-height bow windows at either
end. The south front, facing the main approach, is a plain seven-bay composition defined
by Corinthian pilasters. From the north-west corner of the House a curving conservatory
(1799, listed grade I) connects to St Mary's church (listed grade I), entirely rebuilt
by Wyatt as a classical adjunct to the House. The Wyatt house remained unaltered until
1932, when the large kitchen wing was demolished.
GARDENS AND PLEASURE GROUNDS Immediately south of the House a narrow terrace with
low walls and central steps (early C19, listed grade II) descends to a rectangular
lawn with rose and herbaceous borders and a central fountain. There are urns and stone
sarcophagi at either end of the terrace, with some notable Regency cast-iron railings
at the eastern end (all listed grade II as a group). On the west side a balustrade
(early C19, listed grade II) some 50m from the House encloses the gravel forecourt,
in the centre of which is a square lawn with simple box edging.
West and north-west of the House is an area of early C19 shrubbery planting, through
which the northern approach runs, together with lesser walks.
East of the House there is a lawn with specimen trees, including a fine cut-leaf beech
and specimen oaks, which slopes down to a cascade and aqueduct between the two surviving
lakes. The semicircular portico of the Dower House (1796-1816, listed grade I), originally
built as a Dairy and Bath House, immediately east of the Wyatt stable block (c 1796,
listed grade I) overlooks the lawn and lakes and is an important architectural feature
in the pleasure grounds. A summerhouse (early C19, altered c 1930, listed grade II)
stands c 30m south of the Dower House. The cascade building and aqueduct (listed grade
II*) date from the early C19 development of the lower, northern lake. East of them
the ground rises to the Gothic Seat (early C19, listed grade II) c 50m away. This
stands at the northern end of the terrace walk which runs south for c 350m along the
edge of the hanging wood, and either forms part of the Brown-period improvements when
a drive was brought in at its southern end between the middle and now-vanished southern
lake, or the early C18 period.
The northern lake, which is recorded on a plan of 1808 ('New Lawn and Waterwork at
Dodington Park') as 'not finished', is bounded on the west side by the lawn, and on
the north-east by denser planting, with an understorey of laurel at the northern end.
A lawn east of the southern half of the lake however commands views eastward into
the park over a stretch of ha-ha some 150m long. The dam which retains the lake at
the northern end is not shown on the plan, which may account for the difficulties
and delay in its completion; the island also is not shown and must be a later alteration.
A loggia or summerhouse stands on the northern edge of the lake (listed grade II).
PARK The park comprises three distinct areas: the parkland north and north-east of
the House at the foot of the scarp below Hammerdown Clump and Frenchpiece Wood; the
parkland to the east and south-east laid out on the rolling topography of the scarp
itself; and the southern parkland which now has fewer trees and more intensive agricultural
use.
Some 100m south-east of the House, the valley is dominated by a lake. An estate survey
of 1768-71 by James Maule indicates that Brown made two lakes out of the existing
ponds, the present lake and another further south; the parkland planting south of
the House seems to date from this period. In September 1766, Mrs Boscawen recorded
a visit to Dodington 'where Mr Brown having been before Us, and finding great Capabilities
of Hills and Vales, shade and Water has dispos'd of the whole in a scene which greatly
excited our Admiration' (Kingsley 1992). In 1779, the county historian, Samuel Rudder
wrote:
'Tho' the house is not in the modern taste, it is large and handsome. There are two
very beautiful pieces of water, one above the other, in the front, with the finest
lawn about it that can be conceived, intersperced with venerable oaks and other forest
trees, rising to the view from the house in a most exquisite landscape'. (Rudder 1779)
In 1825 the park at Dodington contained some 700 acres (c 283ha), extending south
of Dodington Wood on the southern edge of the land here registered to include Southfield
Clump and Long Nursery. The southern part of the park between the River Frome and
the lane to Dodington which forms the western boundary, is the oldest part of the
park, shown as unenclosed with parkland planting in the 1768 survey. Planting from
the time of Brown's involvement in the 1760s includes clumps of trees to the south-east,
in what were then hedged fields, the parkland clumps, and standards west of the drive
and in the west park.
The north and north-east parkland was planted up following a design proposed by William
Emes and John Webb in 1793. However, over the next twenty years that plan was modified,
notably in bringing the drive around the northern end of the new north lake rather
than joining the Bath Lodge approach south of the lakes as Emes and Webb had proposed.
There are notable groups of early C19 trees in this area, including remnants of a
beech belt along the eastern boundary, and clumps of lime, horse chestnut, and beech
along the public footpath from Coomb's End to Tormarton. The edge of the planting
follows the intricate topography of the Cotswold escarpment on the east side of the
park.
During this period, the park was substantially enlarged, the Brownian elements remodelled,
and major new works completed in the pleasure grounds, including the construction
of a third lake and island north-east of the House partly on the site of the old walled
garden.
KITCHEN GARDEN When the new northern lake was constructed in the early C19, the kitchen
garden was relocated away from the site of the House to a more discreet area some
50m north of the northern lake, below the dam. Its walls (listed grade II) are of
brick, a relatively expensive material in this area, with stone dressings and are
some 4m high, with an ornamental entrance on the north-west. It is separated from
the lake by the northern approach, which at this point runs over two bridges (both
early C19, listed grade II) designed to allow pedestrian access between the lake and
the kitchen garden.
