This is an interesting old mill house updated by the present owners. There is a small formal garden to the east of the house and the rest of the garden runs along side of the river Frome, with interesting features such as the Archimedes lock controlling the river flow into the old millpond. On the adjoining site to the south are the ruins of the Cistercian abbey founded in 1192. You can visit these and walk round the remains of the former fish ponds used by the monks.
We are a conservation charity working to protect the county's many historic parks and gardens for future generations.
We work with garden owners and local and national bodies to highlight, protect and encourage the conservation and restoration of designed landscapes, ranging from stately homes to public parks, cottage gardens to cemeteries. Principally funded by over 500 members, we run visits, lectures and events where members can share their interest and knowledge in a sociable atmosphere.
Through its research and recording programme, the Trust undertakes and supports research on sites of historic interest, including sites that the Trust has rediscovered, as well as on other related topics. We share knowledge through our Journal and also seek to inspire the gardeners of the future through imaginative projects with schools.
