A visit to Mottisfont Abbey and Gardens is planned for Tuesday the 5th July in conjunction with the Gardens Group to see their world-famous collection roses and savour eight centuries of history that are buried within Mottisfont’s walls, an Augustinian priory that was founded in 1201, laying the foundations for the 18th-century structure that’s now visible. Today, hints of Mottisfont’s medieval past live alongside the stylish redevelopment that took place in the early 20th century.
