Waterperry
 In
the 1930's Waterperry became a school of horticulture for
young ladies, founded by Miss Beatrix Havergal. Her spirit
still lives on as gardening day courses are still held at
Waterperry by the horticultural staff. However, for the ordinary
visitor, Waterperry has many other attractions including the
200 foot herbaceous border containing a riot of colour from
early spring through to autumn frosts.
A little further on is the formal garden, planted in 1986,
and inspired by the great gardens of the Tudor period. In
addition there is the river walk, the rose garden and the
Virgin's walk.
Waterperry also is a specialist plant nursery which propagates
nearly all the plants on sale and whose staff can provide
plenty of knowledge and experience to guide the less well
informed visitors.
Add to all that a most unusual and fascinating Saxon church.
