A corner rich in history
Originally designed by Lady Anne's mother in 1932, this is one of the oldest parts of the garden. The stone lion in the centre is thought to be an emblem of local landowners the Rolle family, and the grinding stone upon which it sits is probably from a nearby mill.
At the bottom of the Stone Garden, a Tōrō stands above the foliage. This Japanese stone lantern, which traditionally lights the path to a Buddhist temple, sets the scene; showcasing plants that no Japanese garden could do without.
