Have you seen.our gorgeous Tulip Tree at Monks Yard ? It's in full bloom now and covered in countless tulips. A native of Turkey, we think it was brought back from the East by Miss Wigglesworth who lived in the Manor House in the early 1900's and frequently went on trips tp China and the Far East. As well as bringing back exotic plants for her beautiful garden, she bought home intricate silk hangings for her walls. Miss Wiggleswoth died in 1955 aged over 100 years but she left us a legacy of glorious greenery in the Manor House garden.

Monks Yard's Writing group met yesterday and had a hilarious time reading out our stories on the title 'A trip to India' ! A couple of weeks ago we had a 5 minute challenge - write a poem about Spring ... and here's our efforts - enjoy!
