EPW059424 ENGLAND (1938). The Manfield Orthopaedic Hospital, Northampton, from the south-east, 1938

The Ha-ha which originally separated Weston Favell House and gardens from the estate beyond. A fence along the top of the ha-ha now forms the boundary between Manfield Grange and Eastfield Park. The picture shows the ha-ha in November, 2011.

The Bullring. This is a ring of lime trees, much older than Weston Favell House and the rest of the parkland. Dating back to at least the 18th Century, its original function is unknown though it seems once to have been at the intersection of two avenues of trees. James Manfield had the ha-ha curve around it so it became part of the garden to the house with ornamental ponds and rockeries to one side.The photograph shows the Bullring in November 2011.

Originally part of the Weston Favell House Estate, this area is now part of Eastfield Park, Northampton - a public park, owned by Northampton Borough Council.

Manfield Orthopaedic Hospital, formerly Weston Favell House, home of James Manfield (c1900-1923). Now Manfield Grange (private housing).
