Our Visit to Iford Manor Estate on Saturday, 7 December 2013

We enjoyed our beautiful wedding with Corinna and Sam recently, collecting the bridal party from Guyers House in Pickwick where they had all enjoyed an overnight stay with breakfast and some serious pampering.

 Leaving a little later than originally planned as the pampering ran over, we travelled with all three cars to their local church at St. Marys in Whaddon, Hilperton, with the boys walking to church as the church was only two doors away from their home.

After the ceremony, we all travelled across to the picturesque Iford Manor Estate where we were met by William Cartwright-Hignett who had opened the gardens especially for our bride and groom to enjoy some photographs with their photographer Stephen Richardson.

Peto was particularly attracted by the charm of old Italian gardens, where flowers occupy a subordinate place amongst the cypresses, broad walks, statues and pools. The current owners have restored the design and planting in accordance with Harold Peto’s vision and over the years, have transformed the area of the Oriental garden.


Summer weekends at Iford are filled with the delights of our speciality loose leaf teas, home made cakes and the tempting scent of freshly baked scones, enjoyed in the tea garden with local Jersey clotted cream and homemade jam.
