An oasis of peace and tranquillity, only 11 miles from the centre of London...
The Manor of Great Stanmore is located just 11 miles north-west of central London, and sits on the crown of the ancient county of Middlesex, land of the Middle Saxons in the Hundred of Gore.
The name Stanmore has had many variants through the ages, from the Domesday spelling of Stanmere, to Standmore, Stanmer, The More, and several explanations of the name have been advanced. Suggestions than Stan refers to the ruins of the Roman station of Sullioniacae, prominently visible to the Saxons when they settled here, or the stone boundary marking the border of Middlesex and Hertfordshire, or the stony mere or pool. Today the latter definition is regarded as the most likely, there are outcrops of gravel on the clay soil here and the mere is most likely to have been one of the Stanmore ponds, which still exist to the present day
Nowadays Stanmore remains a charming and rural place, a region with stunning scenery, numerous open spaces, lakes and parks. An area with an extremely rich and fascinating history which can be traced back, past the Domesday book to the Roman occupation and beyond.
Whether you visit with friends or family looking for a fun day out, Stanmore has it all and we look forward to welcoming you, come to the countryside, come to Stanmore!
These delightful Gardens are located in The Old Church Lane Conservation Area.
