Weston Park
The land on which Weston stands was first mentioned in the Domesday Book. The principal survivor of those times is the park which includes one of the original medieval deer parks and some impressive trees of majestic size. The King and Queen Oaks, recently freed from twentieth century conifer plantations harken back to this era. The Church of St Andrew, which remains the Parish church and is not owned by the Foundation, retains parts of its medieval fabric and, in its position next to the House, occupies the medieval site of Church besides Manor House. The land at this date was held by the de Westons, who took their name from the lands. Monuments can be seen in the Church, placed in their present positions in the seventeenth century by Elizabeth Mytton who herself was a descendant, through the female line, of this ancient dynasty.
One of the easiest to grow flowers, these are were grown from cuttings in my mother-in-law's gardens and they just flourish when you replant them. They never fail to flower every year.
All told there are 9, possibly more, different Calla Lilies growing under the mounds of California Poppies. We even found a bulb in cultivating the area to add some annuals, possibly had got turned upside-down and we've replanted in a better location.
Calla Lilies are very popular for wedding bouquets as they signify magnificence and beauty.
