Brief description of site

Clifford Manor has an early-20th-century garden surrounding an 18th- and 20th-century house. There is also an adjacent medieval moat.

Brief history of site

A timber-framed farmhouse was constructed on the site in the late-15th or early-16th century. Tudor Owen was employed to remodel the house in 1903-9. In 1918 the house was seriously damaged by fire. Edwin Lutyens was commissioned to undertake the reinstatement. Further changes were made to the gardens which have been attributed jointly to Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll.
