The
Manor at Hemingford Grey was recreated and made famous as the house of Green Knowe by Lucy
Boston in her series of children's books, now regarded as classics.
This
moated house is surrounded by four acres of garden renowned for its
collection of over 200 old roses and a collection of irises . There
are hidden corners in the garden which are a real delight. With its large herbaceous borders of mainly scented
plants the garden gives the feeling of being a cottage garden full of
favourite plants in a rather formal setting of lawns with topiary
coronation shapes and chess pieces in their black and white planted
squares.
