Ham Court

Several acres of garden, orchard and paddock surround the last gatehouse fragment of the medieval Bampton Castle, partially moated with walled kitchen garden, a productive greenhouse and farmyard with a variety of farm animals. This project begun by Emma Bridgewater and Matthew Rice is 12 years old so now 'bearing fruit' but will always be in a state of permanent change. Delicious teas and vintage tractors.
