Bourne Hill grounds are one of the most informal and natural areas within the centre of Salisbury, with an abundance of trees, shrubs, flowers and wildlife. With the exception of the lawn area and the flower beds, the grounds have a rugged, wild feel, with the greater part having been allowed to develop and grow with little contrivance and very few trappings.The medieval ramparts of Salisbury ran through these gardens and although little of historical significance is visible a small monument can be found on one of the footpaths. The College of St. Edmund stood within the ground between 1268-1546. Bourne Hill House was built in the early 18th century by the Wyndham family. The house and grounds were bought by the corporation of the city of New Sarum in 1927 to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the granting of the first charter to the city. The house was recently refurbished and now hosts many of Wiltshire Council’s offices and departments. The refurbishment included a controversial rear extension that prompted protests from local residents concerned about the loss of trees and the secret garden. **** Congratulations to 37251 for the FTF ****
