Houses of Lackham 2 nd ed 19 Fig.9 Excerpt from Andrews and Drury‟s map 1773 ** (redrawn by the author from the facsimile in W&SHC) The circular driveway close to the west side of the house is not shown in the 1684 illustration (Fig. 1). The driveway from the Manor is clearly shown running down an avenue of trees that runs (roughly) westwards (down the page) from the house: this line is not the field track that runs from Notton Farm to Home Farm. There is documentary evidence for this avenue, Louisa Montagu recalled that “the approach to Lackham was through a long avenue of aged oaks” 31 In the 1770‟s, the drive turned south just before the current location of Notton Farm and debouched onto the Notton – Reybridge road. This trackway can still be seen and is still in use. 31 Crawford, Louisa (1835) Autobiographical sketches connected with Laycock Abbey and Lackham House Metropolitan Magazine
Houses of Lackham 2 nd ed 20 Fig 10 Old Lackham House and its environs (tentative) ** Andrews and Drury‟s map (Fig. 9) shows a sharp, right-angled turn out of the avenue to the south, but this would have been a very awkward turn indeed for horse-drawn carriages 32 . Talbot‟s map, (Fig. 8) however, indicates that the drive turned slightly north-east, so that it entered the avenue at a much shallower angle. Fig. 10 is a speculative plan of the house and gardens. There is evidence that the eastern garden did not extend completely across the width of the house and that the area south of this garden might have been a courtyard area. This would fit with the layout seen on the late seventeenth century floor plan (Fig. 7). There might be archaeological evidence to support this, as what looked to be a courtyard area was found in approximately the correct location during the 1992 dig, but until the exact locations of the excavations have been fixed onto the floor plan this is not certain. 32 Thomson, L pers.
