The present Lord Faringdon’s design for the Four
Seasons garden includes pleached Ostryaavenues bisected by a tunnel of
Judas trees, with additional border planting by Tim Rees and Lady Faringdon
and classical statuary by Frank Forster
The gardens and grounds have continued to evolve under the present Lord Faringdon. As well as adding a fountain to the north-front pool and a new avenue to the south east of the mansion as part of the twentieth-century garden circuit, he has been most active within the walls of the eighteenth-century kitchen garden. New works have included the richly planted borders in the former melon garden, designed by the late Peter Coats, and the Four Seasons garden, laid out within the octagonal garden walls.
