Lecture: Growing from the Past, Planting for the Future
In 1892 Colonel Stephenson Robert Clarke, a keen naturalist, purchased the 200 acre estate, together with the house which dates back to 1598 when it was built by Sir Stephen Borde whose family lived in Cuckfield for generations. So began the most important era in the evolution of these wonderful gardens.
Tonight we will welcome Robert Stephenson Clarke who inherited the estate from his father in 1970
