Hospital of St.Cross- The Gardens

Here is part of the Hospital gardens and we see a large rectangular pond. The gardens were originally laid to commemorate Henry Compton, a former Master at St.Cross 1667-1675. He went on to become Bishop of London and at that time including a diocese of America. Therefore many plants in the garden reflect the New World. The Master's Garden's incorporates The Compton Garden. There is a tree growing here planted in 1986 by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and also a tulip tree planted by Camilla in 2008.

Very nice shot Vince, as John says lots of things of interest around the pond. Interesting narrative too, thank you.
