Four gardens were open to the public this year – Burford House, Mahogany Hall, Doggetts and Lamington House – in aid of the Red Cross. 860 people and a good number of children attended during the 3 hours of opening and the record amount of £4,600 was raised for the funds. Our thanks to all those who contributed to a most successful day, whether by visiting the gardens, or coping with the tremendous influx of people within the village.
