Prebendal Manor

The medieval gardens at Prebendal Manor  were established to represent both the practical and decorative features that could be found in a high status garden between the 13th and 15th  centuries. 
The Plants have been selected from several plant lists. These include the earliest English gardening book by Jon Gardener and a 15th century Leech book, that contains the sort of medical
recipes that Nicholas Colnet, who was physician to Henry 5th during the Agincourt campaign in 1415. He was given the Prebendal Manor in 1417, probably in return for his services.

The gardens are at their best from late May until mid July. The ephemeral beauty of gardens was noted by many medieval poets:
