About Abbey House Gardens

Nunnery House Gardens is a nation house plant in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, England, covering 5 sections of land. Exclusive, the patio nurseries – however not simply the house – are available to general society seven days seven days from late March until late October. It is one of the principle vacation destinations in the town. Monastery House dates from the sixteenth century, based on thirteenth century establishments, with some proof of a generous house on the site as ahead of schedule as the eleventh century.

It has been widely redesigned and stretched out since, especially in Tudor occasions. The site is neighboring Malmesbury Abbey, which was established in the seventh century and finished in its present shape by the 12th century. The house was potentially started in the 13th century as the dorter (domitory) and reredorter of the monastery. In 1539, the convent was sold by Henry VIII to a nearby clothier, William Stumpe, who likewise purchased the site and lived in it himself.

In 1542, Stumpe or his child James reconstructed the home in the Tudor style; the old area of the house remains for the most part unaltered from that point forward. The lower parts of the thirteenth century building get by in the undercroft. The house and its grounds were passed on through the Stumpe family, which when of the English Civil War had hitched into the Ivey family.
