Jephson Gardens, Lake and Fountains
Jephson Gardens, Lake and Fountains
The two fountains, which were based on the fountains at Hampton Court, were added to the lake in 1926 and 1927.
The Jephson Gardens

The gardens began as farmland which belonged to Edward Willes, a member of the Willes family who played an important part in the shaping of early Leamington. First laid out in 1831 as informal riverside walks along the River Leam, the original Newbold Gardens were developed into formal pleasure grounds and, in 1846, were renamed in honour of Dr Henry Jephson, who had promoted the town as a spa and built houses for the town's poor residents. Jephson Gardens is listed as Grade II on the English Heritage register of historic parks and gardens.
