More information on Hemingford Grey Manor House (The)

Perhaps the oldest continuously inhabited house in Britain, Hemingford Grey's manor house was built for Payne de Hemingford in around 1140. Traces of the Norman structure are still visible. By the 20th century it was semi-derelict until the 30s, when artist Lucy Boston moved in. When Boston turned to writing stories in the late 40s, the Manor took on the role of Green Knowe. The first book, The Children of Green Knowe, was published in 1954. Boston was a keen gardener and especially loved roses and other scented plants, which are still in the garden to this day. The interior of the house is only accessible with a pre-booked guided tour.
