The garden was influential in defining the style known as the "English landscape garden" in continental Europe. The garden is Grade I listed in the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England.Around 1100 the site was part of a deer park set out by the Bishop of Bath and Wells John of Tours.

Further development was undertaken after the house became a seminary and then a Roman Catholic grammar school (which later became Prior Park College).
