beskrivelse:

The Lake In the grounds of Hoveton Hall. The yellow plant seen in the foreground is yellow skunk cabbage (Lysichiton americanus), a member of the Araceae family, originating from north east Asia and western north America. The plant grows in swampy areas, along rivers and lakesides, flowering between March and May; their strong scent is very attractive to pollinating insects. The Lake is shown on the old Fadens map from 1797; it has a clay and shingle bottom and was dug by hand. Hoveton Hall gardens surround Hoveton Hall, which was built between 1809 and 1812 by Humphry Repton and his son John Adey Repton. In the 1940s the parkland was ploughed in order to provide food during the war years and most trees were felled. In 1993 the arable sections of the park were re-grassed; presently the grounds encompass 15 acres of formal gardens, lakes and woodland. Hoveton Hall and gardens has been owned by members of the Buxton family since 1946.
