    Written on the table near the entrance to the garden:

    The Walled Garden is the location of the original Bury House, althought its exact size and shape are unknown. The Bury is an ancient name, usually reffering to a fortified house, in this case the fortification may simply have been the marshy valley which is now Gadebridge Park. The first Bury was reffered to in the 1289 Ashridge Charter where 'Burymilne', the Mill near the Bury was included. Prior to 1539 the Bury was the home of the Waterhouse family, whose name today is remembered by Waterhouse Street. By the end of 18th Century the 'new' Bury, now the Register Office had been built. Mr Ginger's Villa is the the third and current bury.

    Small but cosy yard with many nice plants and flowers. A good place for taking a rest from your sightseeing tour:)

    Well, this church definitelly captured my eyes. Nice atmosphere and a big park behind it. There were many old monuments near it. Many of them were quite hard to read, but I've noticed thedate on the one of them - 1880 or so. Quite old.
