What happened in:

Over 600 stoical people visited the Kitchen Garden for our Easter celebrations and Hen Party, through the wind, rain, sleet, snow and hail. Now the weather seems to have improved, why not come and see our flock of Buff Orpington hens + their handsome cockerel and two bantams, sunning themselves in the garden. The vegetable plot and cut flower garden are beginning to show signs of life, the moorhen has made her usual nest on the end of the pontoon over the pond, and the first brood of ducklings were hatched in 2 inches of snow.

We are open on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 till 5. Please park in the small car park, just before Church Cottage, opposite the church, (which is also open to visitors and houses impressive medieval wall paintings) then visit our tiny shop and have a cup of coffee/tea and a piece of cake. Looking forward to meeting you.
