The Great House @ Kilver Court |
The Great House at Kilver Court (next to the Mulberry Factory Outlet) is currently home to the Sharpham Park farm shop, butchery and cafe. It is a fine example of a 17th Century Shepton Mallet town house and was built as a symbol of success by the mill owner, close to the mill for him to oversee the workers.
'The Secret Garden' at Kilver Court has an unusual history, originally preserved in the 1800’s by Ernest Jardine, a progressive industrialist, who wanted to give his workers inspirational working conditions. Although some form of gardens and lake have existed here since Jardine’s time, the three acre plot has only been open to the public for a short time. It has been a secret kept under lock and key for centuries, but now it is open to view the beautiful gardens.
