The
valley gardens at Mapperton reflect at least three periods of history. On
the upper level, close to the house, is the Italianate garden laid out by
Ethel Labouchere in her husband's memory in the 1920s, complete with
grottoes, stone ornamental birds and animals and a fountain court. Below
the wall and summer house are 17th century fish ponds. An orangery was
added by Victor Montagu, former MP for South Dorset, who extended the
lower garden with specimen shrubs and trees in the 1950s. |
