Sissinghurst Castle |
|
 |
Sissinghurst Castle was once a
splendid mansion built for Sir Richard Baker in the mid-16th century.
The moated Tudor house, set high on a ridge above the Vale of Kent,
By 1800, however, the
house was neglected and decayed. At this time the building was
partially demolished leaving substantial fragments for use as barns,
stables and cottages for labourers.
Over the next hundred
years Sissinghurst slowly degenerated until it was rescue in 1930 by
Vita Sackville-West and her husband Harold Nicolson. |
|
Harold Nicolson planned
the garden but it was Vita Sackville-West who devised the inspired
planting schemes and carried out the work. The rows of flowers are
carefully grouped according to colour, texture and season.
The brick structures and
walls gives the basic shape of the 6 acre garden. Harold Nicolson
combined the hedges of rose, yew and hornbeam, to create a series of
'outdoor rooms' with long linking walks.
