The ‘lost’ pleasure gardens of Stonton Wyville
Stonton Wyville has the remnants of a banqueting house with its own pleasure gardens.
Stonton Wyville is officially recognised as a ‘shrunken medieval village’, as in the past it certainly must have been much larger.
Today, Stonton Wyville parish includes a church, a manor house, a rectory and a farm.
But if you know where to look, there are still the remnants of a banqueting house with its own moat and even its own extensive pleasure gardens.
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Leicester’s Ben Jackson went for a look around with historian Peter Liddle.
Produced by Pete Wardman.
