Remains of a 19th century designed landscape of Williamston House (NJ63SW0024). The designed landscape was created in the 1830s by Charles Fraser, 'improved' and extended in the 1870s by his son Edward Fraser, and further added to between 1895 and 1915. The 1st edition map shows two walled gardens to the east of the house, and home farm to the northeast. A fountain is shown within the large walled garden on the 2nd edition map. The lawn around the house was extended circa 1914 when the ha-ha was built. On the death of Edward Fraser the property came into the ownership of the artist Theodore Haughton who created the present garden design, a rare example of the artist 's garden design. Much of the gardens were destroyed in the great gale of 1953, but have since been triumphantly rebuilt. The lake was created circa 1930.
