This church has all manner of interesting features and is well worth visiting.

Kingston Lacy Kitchen Garden

Highlight • Historical Site

The Kingston Lacy Kitchen Garden is being restored by the National Trust which has been in decline since the 1960s. The kitchen garden was originally designed and built in 1876 to grow fruit, veggies and flowers for the Kingston Lacy estate.

The kitchen garden now supplies produce for the cafe at Kingston Lacy, so you can come and sample the home-grown produce.
