Britain's What's On Event Guide
Ogbourne Manor - Open Garden for NGS
The Manor House dates from 1619 and is built on the site of an ancient priory. The gardens have been extensively extended and improved by the present owners over the past 20 years and include a parterre, swimming pool, tennis court, vegetable garden and stable block. Roses along the parterre walls and dahlias in the borders are particular features. Apart from a rich architectural history the house (not open) has more contemporary fame as the address from which the love letters were written as part of the successful WW2 deception featured in the book and film Operation Mincemeat.
