The Walled Garden<br />
Our research at the Orford Museum has unearthed<br />
some photo’s of the original Victorian<br />
greenhouses as they were during the second<br />
world war and their respective uses.<br />
Most of the land at <strong>Sudbourne</strong> <strong>Park</strong> was<br />
ploughed up to grow crops at that time and<br />
there were at least 4 members of the WLA<br />
(womans land army) living on site.<br />
There was also a great deal of military activity<br />
at <strong>Sudbourne</strong> <strong>Park</strong>. The 43rd Royal Tank Regiment<br />
were under canvas in the parkland for<br />
part of the time and the officers lived in <strong>Sudbourne</strong><br />
Hall itself.<br />
The top picture shows the two flanking<br />
greenhouses to the southern entrance which<br />
also housed the boilers. The middle left hand<br />
picture shows two members of the WLA infront<br />
of one of the original ranges inside the walled<br />
garden.The bottom pictures show historic<br />
aerial images after the part demolition of the<br />
external ranges.<br />
