Middlewick House, Georgian manor house in Corsham, England
Middlewick House is a Georgian manor house set in the village of Corsham in England, built using dressed Cotswold stone with a roof covered in stone tiles. The front range is joined by an older west wing, and the whole structure displays the typical proportions and window placements found in architecture from that era.
The property served as accommodation for intelligence staff during the Second World War when operations were based in the area. In later decades it became home to well-known figures, including at one time a future queen consort.
The gardens of Middlewick House contain multiple sculptures created by artist Simon Gudgeon and received recognition in the 2017 book The Secret Gardeners.
The gardens open to visitors on selected days throughout the year, and entrance fees go toward supporting charities. The paths are manageable and lead through different areas, allowing you to wander through the grounds at your own pace.
The gardens hold sculptures by Simon Gudgeon scattered among plantings and open spaces. The property was featured in a book about hidden gardens in the region and draws visitors who want to experience artworks within a natural setting.
