The earliest plans for a walled kitchen garden at Shugborough date from 1800. By 1805 William Pitt described the gardens as 'well stored with the choicest of fruit trees...and many other varieties of hot-house fruits, flowers and plants'.
A gardener's house was added and the walled garden was surrounded by a Ha-Ha, within which trees were planted.
