My father and grandfather used to be handymen/gardners at Ponsbourne Manor when it was St Domonics Priory, in the 1950,s early 60′s. There used to be a lovely stableyard to the rear of the tennis courts, I can remember it being pulled down. The gun house is still there, slightly altered. A big walled garden used to be full of produce and maintained by the nuns. Greenhouses against the back wall were full of grapes and tomatoes. We used to go for our lunch under the chapel in a cellar. I went with my father to buy fish for the chapel pond, I had the fish in water on my lap as we drove, and remember releasing them into the pond.

These do not appear on the Pulham database, so I would be interested to see some pictures. If genuine, and in reasonable condition, they would well be worth preservation.

I am contacting you from a company called North One Television, who are producing a new series for BBC One called ‘The Railway That Guy Built’. This is the follow up series to ‘The Boat That Guy Built’ which aired earlier this year.
In one of the episodes from this series, Guy will be renovating a railway station, and, as part of that, we wanted to recreate an authentic 19th century garden fit for a station master. We wondered if we can use authentic and original techniques to build a rock garden and fountain out of Pulhamite.
Many thanks,
Tom Norton
Assistant Producer
North One Television

Only a true amateur expert would have written it. Well done.
