Gatton Park

Report by P Tarplee on research into the estate’s hydraulic rams, by the Surrey Gardens Trust. The rams were supplied in 1922 by Green & Carter of Somerset, who have comprehensive records dating back to 1836. These show that a ram was supplied to the estate in 1875. One was also supplied in 1851, with valves for another ram, presumably installed before the start of the existing records. (SIHG 101)
