Kirby Hall

This mound is the location of where the village church of the lost village of Kirby stood. It now stands close to Kirby Hall. From it you can view the ordered gardens of Kirby and paint flowers in the minds eye upon the rising ground stretching away from the house known as the wilderness garden.

Kirby Hall is now a semi-ruin owned by the Earl of Winchilsea under management of English Heritage. I always get an earphone guide from the English Heritage and once again I wasn’t disappointed.DSC08391
