Looking back - Garden Day 2007

A lovely day. Weren't we lucky with the weather! This was the most successful Garden Day ever, 482 visitors raised over £5,000 for St. Mary's Church and the Wiltshire Air Ambulance. We were particularly happy to see so many repeat visitors; thanks for coming along.

About West Kington

West Kington is an unusual scattered village spread along the valley of the Broadmead Brook, with many handsome houses, delightful walks, and an unusual wealth of superb gardens. Historically the parish of the Protestant martyr Hugh Latimer: "Be of good comfort Master Ridley, and play the man. We shall this day light such a candle by God's grace in England as I trust shall never be put out" (October 1555)
