The ‘lost’ pleasure gardens of Stonton Wyville

Available for over a year

Stonton Wyville is officially recognised as a ‘shrunken medieval village’, as in the past it certainly must have been much larger. Today, Stonton Wyville parish includes a church, a manor house, a rectory and a farm. But if you know where to look, there are still the remnants of a banqueting house with its own moat and even its own extensive pleasure gardens. BBC Leicester’s Ben Jackson went for a look around with historian Peter Liddle. Produced by Pete Wardman.
