Gilbert White was an enthusiastic gardener who grew a wide range of vegetables, fruit and flowers. The garden has been largely restored to its 18th century form.                                                                    All Photographs © David Packman

Next to Selborne's village green (The Plestor) is St. Mary's Church where Gilbert White was Curate for many years and is buried. The church was built around 1180, probably on the site of a Saxon church and contains two stained glass windows commemorating Gilbert White. The churchyard was home to the famous Selborne Yew, after standing for some 1400 years it was uprooted in a winter gale in 1990.                                                    All Photographs © David Packman
