Lytes Cary Manor
Heritage Open Day: Lytes Cary is a medieval manor - a home created and loved by two families: the Lytes, and the Jenners. The house is surrounded by an Arts and Crafts-inspired garden, and the wider estate invites for a stroll on one of the three waymarked walks. The intimate medieval manor house was originally home to the Lytes family, who lived here for several generations, from the 13th century until the 18th century. After years of neglect, Lytes Cary was lovingly restored in the early 20th century by sir Walter Jenner and his wife, Lady flora, and is arranged as it was in their time. a stroll around the Arts and Crafts-inspired garden beside the house reveals garden rooms, divided by high yew hedges, collections of topiary, sensuous herbaceous borders, orchards and manicured lawns. The Manor is surrounded by fertile farmland, wild meadows, woodland and flood plains.
