Emmet's Garden and Chiddingstone

Chiddingstone is a tiny village but medieval and owned by the National Trust.
A well-carved porch.
Yew tree, all awry
This is the original chiding stone, where (perhaps) folks went to be chided - it is an outcrop of sandstone.
 Emmet's Garden : this is not a good time of year for gardens. This garden did have an interesting system for redistributing water with a self-powered pump - a pump operated by the weight of the water in the pond. This is the pond, and the walk was very muddy.
