Peckover House is a secret gem, an oasis hidden away in an urban environment. A classic Georgian merchant's town house, it was lived in by the Peckover family for 150 years.
The Peckovers were staunch Quakers, which meant they had a very simple lifestyle - yet at the same time they ran a successful private bank. Both facets of their life can be seen as you explore the house and as you wander the gardens.
The gardens themselves are outstanding - 0.8 hectares (2 acres) of sensory delight, complete with orangery, summer-houses, croquet lawn and rose garden with a varitety of species of rose.
Since opening in July 2022, the Damsons community group has been a permanent resident of the Reed Barn at Peckover House and Gardens. Initially meeting twice, a week on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, the group was created for people living with dementia and their loved ones and offers a calm and relaxing space for people to socialise with those in a similar situation, gather information and seek advice. Following the success of the last two years, we are delighted to be able to offer two further sessions on a Tuesday and a Wednesday morning too.
