Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday

Great Chalfield Manor and Garden, Happy Tree-Mendous Tuesday. Another from my archive but well worth adding to the group as I feel it's a shame to visit places then just store many of the pictures away, I hope you all agree.

 

15th-century manor house with Arts and Crafts garden:

 

This is one of the garden buildings (The Summerhouse) surrounding the beautiful medieval manor which sits in peaceful countryside. Cross the upper moat, passing barns, gatehouse and delightful parish church to enjoy fine oriel windows and the soldiers, griffons and monkey adorning the rooftops.

 

The romantic gardens offer terraces, topiary houses, gazebo, lily pond, roses and views across the spring-fed fishpond.
