Marzaotto family: Worlingham Hall is a remarkable Georgian country house dating back to the 16th century. The Marzotto family has lovingly stewarded this property since 2009, overseeing 180 acres of pristine woodland with 500-year-old oak trees,
THE PARK
In the 1780s the park at Worlingham covered c. 18 ha (44a), but the enclosure of Worlingham common in 1787 allowed Robert Sparrow to expand his park at about the same time as the house was remodelled. Most of the common was planted with trees to create a wood, described by Henry Davy in 1827 as ‘…greatly improved by the late proprietor Robert Sparrow (d. 1822), who showed much taste in the arrangement of the plantations and the general disposition of the grounds’. By 1840 the landscape park had expanded to c. 42 ha (104a) with an additional c. 50ha (125a) of woodland adjoining the river marshes.

Lime leaf gall: During the summer months, the foliage of lime trees (Tilia) can become covered with elongate red tack-like galls on the upper side of leaves. This is due to the feeding activities of a gall mite. Although the lime nail gall mite disfigures the foliage it has little or no effect on tree growth.
