Sherborne Castle and Gardens, Dorset


Listen Later

Sherborne Castle in Dorset, has been the home of the Wingfield-Digby family since 1617. It was built by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1594, and this historic house reflects a glorious variety of decorative styles from over 400 years of English History.

The Grade I listed Garden was one of Capability Brown’s first commissions and this magnificent English Landscape Garden survives largely unaltered to this day.

In the episode I chat to Maria Wingfield-Digby, wife of Edward Wingfield-Digby who is the current owner of the castle. She oversees the tourism side of the business and the garden is her pride and joy!
