Description
We first visited the Manor in Hemingford Grey in Episode 8, admiring the topiary: crowns and orbs that were shaped for the Queen's coronation. But this is a garden that holds many stories, including airmen from the second world war, picnicking on the lawn and the adventures of the children from the Green Knowe story books.
You can see photographs of this special garden on the episode page.
Check out Episode 8 for everything you need to know about topiary including how to start your own.
Presented and Produced by Sally Flatman
Music: Fade to Black by Howard Levy + Abide with Me - Ernest Lough
