A brief historyof the garden


Stockton Bury has been in our family for five generations however the garden has been developed by the current owner Raymond Treasure along with his partner Gordon Fenn over the last 50 years. Raymond and Gordon were very good friends of Christoper Lloyd and Beth Chatto and were encouraged to create a garden by Raymonds’ second cousin, John Treasure (a well-known Clematis grower and creator of the nearby Burford House Gardens in Tenbury Wells).

This is a very personal garden with quirky touches and unexpected additions reflecting the fact that it has slowly been enlarged over the decades. They decided to share their garden to the public 30 years ago. Raymond’s two nieces Tamsin Westhorpe and Connie Marston now run the garden and café alongside the creators who are still very involved the care of the gardens.

Discover ourgarden museum


The garden sits at the heart of a working farm: originally one of the Bury farms of the Benedictine Priory in Leominster. You won’t want to miss the pigeon house and Medieval barns, which remain important landmark features. The barns retain their agricultural purposes, while sheep and cattle graze the surrounding fields. Details of this rich history can be found in our small garden museum. This is located in our old stables and is home to a timeline story board and our rich collection of garden tools that have been used on the site over the years. It is also where our hoard of Roman coins that were discovered in 2013 are on display.
