The Medieval Garden

The Museum garden, with its wide-ranging views, is evolving into a garden which reflects the early days of the Manor through plants grown for medicinal and culinary use and its evolution to modern times.

The fruit trees and roses date from very early times until the present. The many herbs are clearly labelled, recounting their uses in times past.
