Since joining the staff as head gardener in September of 2007, I have been conducting research into medieval gardens as part of an ongoing programme of refurbishment and improvement of the gardens at Michelham Priory. This research has focussed on the relationship between the Monastic life of the Augustinian Canons (the Priory's original inhabitants), and the developing horticultural practices of the period. It has been undertaken with a view to improve the way the history of the Priory gardens is explained to the visiting public, and aims to appeal to the more dedicated horticulturist as well as someone looking for an interesting day out in beautiful surroundings. The intended outcome is to include more of the gardens' story as part of the planned reinterpretation of the Priory.
