About Hinchingbrooke House
Hinchingbrooke House is steeped in history and dates back to medieval times, firstly as a church and nunnery, then home to the Cromwell family and later the Earls of Sandwich, becoming a school in the 1950’s.
The gardens have also undergone similar changes, with areas of the lawns once burial grounds, then gardens maintained by teams of gardeners, and tennis and croquet lawns still obvious today. With funding from events held at the House we are now able to renovate some of these areas creating sunny borders of climbing roses and lavender as you enter through our large stone gatehouse, an old wisteria re-trained on a terrace wall, a mixture of old fashioned peonies and more modern phormiums to cope with the sunny dry borders surrounding the House.
A long dry border with grasses and drought loving plants leads down to our mixed perennial herbaceous border garden, and then through to a rose garden, with the original 19th Century layout of the parterre hedging although severely damaged by box moth last year
Tours of the House can also be given for an additional reduced fee of £5.
