History
This land passed through the hands of several private owners including The Duke of Devonshire, the Grand Hotel and finally Mrs. Helen Reid Stewart Hornby Lewis after whom the garden is named. Shortly after her death in 1930 the land was conveyed to the council, landscaped and opened to the public in 1935.
