Wormsley, the magnificent estate set in the Chiltern Hills, was recently the setting for a tour and tea party hosted by Country Life and Charles Stanley.
The two-acre private garden, that’s open by appointment, was restored by the legendary garden designer Penelope Hobhouse and comprises a rose garden, Green Theatre, pergola and croquet lawn.
Guests were welcomed by head gardener Charlotte Tremlin. On this page you can see some of the lovely images taken by Jon Lewis for Country Life at the event.
