Historical Gardens - Early 17th Century

Archaeology and architectural fragments are the usual tantalizing hints left by such early gardens. Campden House is blessed with some of the most complete garden remains from this period, to survive anywhere in the country. The East and West Banqueting Houses are linked by the clearly visible lines of their terraced promenades and formal planting beds.

At Stanway, the treacle-coloured stonework of the Gatehouse together with its walled courtyard, terraced garden and clairvoie dating from the 1720s or 30s, present one of the most pleasing images of Gloucestershire.
