The Elizabethan Garden in New Street.


This delightfully restored little garden was created in the 16th century when 
wealthy merchants built their houses in the then accurately named New Street.


























This garden lies a few yards away from the Elizabethan House,
a late 1500s sea captain's house which was rescued from demolition in 1929 and survives today in its near original state, and is sympathetically furnished.

The house and the gardens provide a fascinating insight into a life in Elizabethan England.
