		With its sagging roof, crumbling plasterwork and rotting timbers, Grade II-listed Biddulph Grange, near Congleton, Cheshire, was in 'a dire state of disrepair' when Yorkshire developers Shepherd Homes bought the Victorian mansion some four years ago.
		It was a far cry from its heyday in the early 1900s, when an article in Country Life (January 7, 1905) extolled the beauty of its 15 acres of wonderful gardens ('long recognised as among the most perfect of their kind in England'), created over a period of 60 years by previous owner James Bateman.
		While Biddulph Grange became a hospital and eventually slid into total decline, its famous garden was bought by the National Trust in 1988 and, after careful restoration, opened to the public in 1991.

		On our last Saturday in England we decided to go and take a look at Biddulph Grange Gardens - a property an hour north of Branston that we'd thought about going to on our way up and down but always had something else to do.
		The gardens were the land owner's pet project and he was a keen collector of trees, so there were plenty of interesting specimens around.
		The highlight at Biddulph is supposed to be the rainbow of rhododendrons, but being autumn we just had to make do with the rainbow of leaves.
