		Outside in the old churchyard is a beautiful garden, featuring two wonderful tombs - that of William Bligh (of bread fruit and Mutiny on the Bounty fame) and also the Tradescants' tomb (father and son Ð the wonderful sixteenth and seventeenth century gardeners) which is the one with all the skulls.
		Technically outside the gardens in an area known as the KingÕs Garden are two gems:Êa balustraded sunken garden with flat formal lawns framed by flower beds, and a T shaped pool and fountain reminiscent (to me) of the 1930 English murder mystery.
		The garden has a semi-formal layout, with geometrical beds bordered with painted rail iron work, gravelled pathways with trellised arches, stone seats in trellised arbours, wooden seats brightly painted and whimsical statutes of mythological creatures brightly painted and often on the top of green and white (a la barber) poles.

	History of gardening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Though cultivation of plants for food long predates history, the earliest evidence for ornamental gardens is seen in Egyptian tomb paintings of the 1500s BC; they depict lotus ponds surrounded by rows of acacias and palms.
		In Europe, gardening revived in Languedoc and the Ile-de-France in the 13th century, and in the Italian villa gardens of the early Renaissance.
		The books of William Robinson describing his own "wild" gardening at Gravetye Manor, Sussex, and the sentimental picture of a rosy, idealized "cottage garden" of the kind pictured by Kate Greenaway, which had scarcely existed historically, both influenced the development of the mixed herbaceous borders that were advocated by Gertrude Jekyll from the 1890s.

		The climate within the garden is very mild and is helped by being heated by the out-take vent for the heating system within the former church halls which can be seen on the wall.
