Summary edit
| Description |
English: Attack sheep? Jacob lamb in pasture beside entrance to Hoveton Hall. Jacob sheep are white sheep with black spots and can have up to six horns; the breed is presumed to originate from Scandinavia. Jacobs were often kept as park sheep, i.e. decorative animals grazed on estates. They are grown for their wool, meat and hides, and occasionally they are being used as 'attack sheep' in the manner of attack dogs in order to protect farm property from vandalism > http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article22408.ece
Hoveton park and 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. |
