Stunning wedding photography
The Park is going through a restoration project and has been granted funds by the heritage lottery funding organisation. A lake has been restored and a wall garden which is open to the public. The park lends itself well for brides for stunning photography of backdrops of the house and grounds. Also at the back of the house is St Mary’s church which belongs with the house and dates back to the doomsday times. The Church is often used for weddings and is ideal setting to follow on with the reception at the conference centre which does happen on occasions.
