English: Reflections in Kidney Lake Kidney Lake, so called because of its shape, was dug by hand in the 1920s; depending on natural drainage, the lake can flow over during a spell of wet weather such as experienced recently and the seat seen in the foreground is still flooded and inaccessible. Hoveton Hall gardens surround Hoveton Hall, which was built between 1809 and 1812 by Humphry Repton and his son John Adey Repton. In the 1940s the parkland was ploughed in order to provide food during the war years and most trees were felled. In 1993 the arable sections of the park were re-grassed; presently the grounds encompass 15 acres of formal gardens, lakes and woodland. Hoveton Hall and gardens has been owned by members of the Buxton family since 1946.
