The Gardens, grounds and whole estate of Easton Lodge date back to Tudor times. It is believed that, in 1590, Elizabeth I granted the 10,000 acre Manor of Estaines to Henry Maynard as a reward for his duties as Private Secretary to the Lord Chancellor and Treasurer to the Queen. After demolishing a hunting lodge in the deer park, known as Easton Lodge, Maynard constructed an Elizabethan ‘H’ ground-plan mansion, similar to but smaller than Blickling Hall in Norfolk.
