Sulgrave Manor

Our garden was designed in the early 1900s by Sir Reginald Blomfield: architect, garden designer and author. Yew hedges divide the garden into rooms, each one with its own atmosphere. Topiary peacocks welcome visitors at the front door and densely planted borders ensure botanical interest from spring through to autumn. Please Note: the house will not be open.

About Sulgrave Manor

Our Garden was designed in the early 1900s by Sir Reginald Blomfield: architect, garden designer and author. Yew hedges divide the garden into rooms, each one with its own atmosphere. Topiary peacocks welcome visitors at the front door and densely planted borders ensure botanical interest from spring through to autumn. The Tudor Villagers Garden boasts historic vegetables and herbs, whilst mature trees provide shaded seating and stunning autumn colour. Heritage fruit trees grow in the orchard and there’s a designated Silent Space should you wish to simply sit back and enjoy views of the surrounding rolling countryside.

There are lots of exciting changes happening the garden at Sulgrave Manor.

We have divided the modern herb garden area to create a series of new garden rooms and add interest to our planting. In the lower half of the current area we have created a Rock Garden as per Reginald Blomfield’s plans. These were very popular features in the early 20th Century as an Alpine craze led to the introduction of new plants and ways to display them. Our Rock Garden features a cedar Alpine House and cold frames, with lots of ventilation providing the correct conditions for Alpine plants.
