GARDEN SCULPTURE AT DENMANS
These beautiful sculptures can be seen whilst walking around the gardens of Denmans. I took these photos on my recent visit.
In the 19th century this, along with several other buildings, was the home farm to an estate built for and owned by Lord Denman. The main house being Westergate House, which lies west of the garden across Denmans Lane.
In 1946 the late Mr and Mrs Robinson bought the house, garden and land which by then had become rundown. Westergate House was sold, and they converted two cottages in the garden which was to become their home.
Now the home to John Brookes, who in 2004 won an MBE for his services to garden design and services to horticulture.
Well worth a visit if you find yourself in the Arundel/Chichester area of West Sussex.

That sculpture's beautiful...I particularly like the geese. I've not been to Denmans, but do have a John Brookes book on garden design. D x
What a lovely garden to look around. I was actually going to ask if the geese are real, they look so good.
The sculptures seem to fit in so well with the garden.
Lovely sculptures, a shame it's not in this neck of the woods!
I'd love the geese for my yard!
Love these sculptures :)
Oh yes, I do love the geese!!;-)
Your blog post was a sort of counterpart to mine -artifacts in greenery.
Unlike most stuff that ends up in the garden, these are rather lovely.
Re ferns: as a child in Essex there was masses of bracken which does not have the loveliness of ferns which I never found in England but grew with great joy on Long Island.
Have a good weekend.
I'm always interested in looking at other people's garden statuary. These are quite whimsical. Denman's has proven popular on the blogosphere....would like to see it in person myself one day.
