Embley Park, Wellow - Test Valley
C19 and early C20 woodland and shrub garden of late C18 origin, once the home of Florence Nightingale. After WWII the estate was divided, the house and historic core becoming a school. A Conservation Management Plan covers the school although the historic character is vulnerable to additional developement. The wider open and wooded park has multiple owners and accumulative development pressures. A Heritage Impact Assessment was commissioned by Test Valley in 2016 in response to local plan proposals. The need to widen understanding of significance and conservation to sustain value remains.
