Orchard Wyndham
Orchard Wyndham in Williton has been the home of the Wyndhams avid their forbears, the Orchards and Sydenhams, for over 700 years. Since the Orchards first built the "heart of the house" in the 13th century, each successive generation has added to the building or adapted It to meet thetr own particular vieeds. This generation, is attempting to restore the fabric and its contents whilst living in it as a working family unit fully engaged In tending the surrouviding land, woodlands and historic buildings - with particular attention to conservation interests. Orchard Wyndhams is an old and frail country house lived In - or under repair - right up to the roof where breeding coloniies of five different species of bat reside!
