Hinton Ampner is a house in East Sussex that we decide to visit
to get out into the country side and check out a garden
Their was a beautiful productive garden that was in need of a lot of work.
But a church view while you work. dreams are made of this.
100 year old apple trees in the gardens.
The church was built in the 1700's
But the windows are obviously newer.
Their were formal gardens
Rose gardens
But it was the productive gardens that got the attention of the tourists.
We stopped for lunch at the usual National Trust Cafe
Jennifer got her usual scones and clotted cream, while I enjoyed a stew.
The walks were pleasant and enjoyable.
The house was a mixed house, it was a old Georgian house that the owner had modernized in the 1860's, then a fire in 1960 pull a whole new twist to it.
Once inside we found the house was actually small
and the NT is restoring the upstairs.
The dining room was put on display.
The family drawing room had evolved.
But that some were set to old periods as well.
But for this place it was the Gardens that were the show place.
