Chichele College Garden
Chichele College Garden
This medieval-style garden was a community project initiated by the Higham Ferrers Tourism, Business and Community Partnership funded by a National Lottery Community Spaces grant and the generosity of the local community.
The garden has become a place for contemplation, recreation and education for the local community, as well visitors to the College. Every effort is being made to make it accessible to all.

A unique and beautiful setting for garden lovers to indulge. Not quite Chelsea, but homespun and community minded. Our annual fair is held in the ancient, walled, medieval-style garden of Chichele College and the adjoining Duchy Barn Garden. A variety of stalls will be selling plants and garden-related fare.
This year, our theme is Tudor Times, with an exhibition of local school children's art in the Chichele College building entitled ‘A View from Chichele College in Tudor Times’. Plus a herb-themed planted wheelbarrow competition for local groups and schools.
With a steel band, refreshments from the NAAFI van, and willow weaving demonstrations, there is much to enjoy for all ages. Once again, being a Farmer’s Market morning, we shall be accompanied by bell ringing.
