Felley Priory is a 16th century house with gardens located in the village of Felley, Nottinghamshire, UK. It is situated on the grounds of a former priory established by Augustinians in 1156 and dissolved in 1536. The gardens were started in 1974 by Maria Chaworth-Musters and opened to the public through the National Garden Scheme just two years later. Since Maria's passing in 2010, the gardens have been managed by her granddaughter and expert gardener, Michelle Upchurch. In 2021, the gardens were one of the four finalists in the public gardens category in NGS's The Nation's Favourite Gardens competition.The English Country House Garden by George Plumptre (2014) page 160Felley Priory garden @ National Garden SchemeThe Nation's Favourite Gardens winners, by Country Life (magazine)Felley Priory: The ultimate lesson in the value of planting hedge, Country Life, July 9, 2017 Read more on Wikipedia
