The gardens at Bonkers Hall

Some literary theorists have tentatively identified Nevill Holt in Leicestershire as the model for Bonkers Hall. Their suggestion appears more securely based when one reads a description of the gardens at Nevill Holt:

The first garden has elaborate iron gates with a stone crest, a medieval font and lead griffins. This leads through to the second area, a 2,500 square metre vegetable garden with peach and apricot houses as well as an extensive potager. Look at gardens

The third, an Italianate garden, has well stocked herbaceous borders and a classical portico overlooking a pool.

You have to admit Meadowcroft is doing a wonderful job.

Lord Bonkers adds: I was showing my potager to a party of schoolgirls only yesterday.
