There is a lot of interesting local archaeology and history , including finds of prehistoric flint tools and Mediaeval pottery from the field next to the Bungalow. Go back to the Top About the garden The Bungalow garden is as much a wild space as a garden. The plantlife is managed in a way which is sympathetic to insects, birds and mammals. Conventional gardeners might think that not enough attention is paid to cultivating plants. However it is more a living space than a horticultural phenomenon.
Wild things prefer it that way.
The biggest ecological changes in the area round the Bungalow within the last thirty years have been agricultural intensification on the farm, and destruction of the park and avenue with their mature trees. Nevertheless many elements of the earlier landscape survive, particularly the ponds, gardens and woodlands. These provide continuing ecological stability, which the Bungalow garden shares in. On a regional level, the garden is a tiny part of the natural area of the East Anglian Plain, as defined by the Government agency English Nature . So the garden has examples of regionally important habitat, with a good range of B.A.P. species recorded.
