    Bacon began converting the Pondyards at Gorhambury into an elaborate water garden, a project associated with his rise as a royal officeholder and his interest in garden design. Coordinates are a representative point for the Gorhambury estate and Pondyards landscape; the precise site of Bacon's associated Verulam House no longer survives.
