Henry is the current Lord Digby. The house, estate and gardens originally belonged to the Churchill family and were bought by the Digbys 250 years ago.
They’ve retained the Churchill tapestries, pictures and furniture so if you’re interested and Henry has time, he is happy to give you a tour. The garden is the result of the family sponsoring plant hunting trips during the 18th-century.
