Dorward House was built in 1839 and became a care home for the elderly in 1950. There have been many changes over the years including the addition of the garden pavilion.

The gardens are maintained by the gardener/handyman with assistance from a private contractor and a few keen volunteers. Their hard work and dedication has certainly paid off with stunning herbaceous borders and colourful annuals.

There is also a ‘sensory garden’ to the rear which is dedicated mainly for the vulnerable dementia residents.
