    Site History
    • Named after William Stubber who owned the house in the 15th century.
    • In the early 17th century it was the home of William Coys, a well known botanist, who provided plants for  Kew Gardens.
    • The garden contained 342 plant species and in 1604 a yucca plant bloomed there for the first time in England.
    • In 1689, the estate was bought by Sir William Russell and remained in the family for nearly 300 years.
    • Famous landscape designer Humphry Repton was commissioned to suggest how the gardens could be landscaped and produced a book of designs, called a Red Book because of the colour of its cover.
    • The house was demolished in 1955 and the grounds are now the site of an activity centre.
