Sir Harry was Equerry to King Edward VII and married the maid of honour to Her Majesty Queen Victoria so consequently the connection with the Court was strong. The Queen and her family visited the house over a prolonged period of years. Sir Harry pursued his interest in trees and started his tree collection, planting a profusion of specimens and many of these royal visits culminated in tree planting ceremonies. Today, through the commemorative plaques, the gardens are testament to those early 20th Century visits. As an estate the scale of the gardens was very much greater in the 1900's that it is today. The estate had 15 gardeners and even in the 1880s trees were numerous and well developed.LocationOften described as the prettiest village in South Buckinghamshire, Fulmer has its own cricket team, well regarded infant school, a sought after village pub, The Black Horse and adjacent farm shop. Gerrards Cross provides a more comprehensive range of facilities, together with a mainline station serving London Marylebone.
