Around 600 people attended an open day at the Gardens of Easton Lodge on Sunday, which explored the estate’s role in both world wars.
Visitors sang along to Vera Lynn's ballad, We'll Meet Again, one of the many wartime tunes performed by duo Perfect Vintage, who entertained on the day, whilst children played on the croquet lawn.
Maggie Stevens, archivist for the gardens, spoke about the history of the estate, including a speech given by the Countess of Warwick, owner of the land, after the First World War ended, where she said: "Kings and governments have always caused wars, not the people, but the people have to go and put matters right."
Jill Goldsmith, a member of the Gardens of Easton Lodge Preservation Trust, said: "The gardens were looking fantastic. The walled kitchen garden was full of colour and its carrots, beetroot, courgettes and beans were snapped up by visitors."
