Lytes Cary Manor

Not far from Yeovil are four National Trust properties so there is a bit to see.
In regards to Yeovil even the staff in the hotel keeping saying, “Why would you want to go into Yeovil?”
Who are we to argue with local knowledge.

Almost every town has a memorable church, castle, ruin or memorial .

Still looking for Yeovil’s.

Lyte family owned the Lytes Cary Manor for 500 years until they got into financial strife the 1700s. It went a bit of a ruin for 150 years until Sir Walter and Lady Flora Jenning bought the place in 1907,because everyone needs a project.
They spent a few pounds on restoring it and the gardens which they did in the Arts and Crafts style.
The Chapel attached to the house was built in 1348 replacing an early one! It’s good to have a Chapel.
Very, very nice.Les mer
