A delightful 16th century Manor House that was the home of George Washington’s ancestors. The Manor contains wonderful Tudor to Georgian furniture and artefacts, and the largest UK collection of George Washington memorabilia demonstrating the British contribution to the origins of the USA. The gardens were designed in the formal style by Sir Reginald Blomfield. There are herbaceous borders, fine topiary work, an orchard underplanted with thousands of daffodils and the knot garden with a sundial dating from 1579. Sulgrave Manor is also home to The Herb Society who maintain the National Herb Garden and their Chelsea prize winning exhibit within the grounds. The Courtyard buildings house fine visitor/education/wedding and function facilities.
