A lovely William and Mary manor house in a countryside setting.
Squerryes has been the home of the Warde family for almost 3 centuries.
The formal gardens maintain some of their original 18th century features,
and the rest has been lovingly restored using old prints as a guide.
Within the gardens is an 18th century dovecote. The interior of Squerryes
houses an extensive collection of furniture, tapestries, and porcelain
of the !8th century, plus Old Master paintings, and items associated
with General James Wolfe of Quebec, who was a close friend of the Warde
family.
