Myddelton House was home to E A Bowles (1865 to 1954) who devoted much of his life to the creation of the Garden. As an enthusiastic collector and accomplished plantsman Bowles discovered and selected many plants, in particular unusual varieties, many of which can still be seen in the Garden today.

The Gardens are also home to a National Collection of Dyke Medal winning Iris and have received a provisional award from Plant Heritage (NCCPG). These are all Dykes winners which is the highest award that is given to Iris. The collection can be viewed in chronological order so that the development of the Iris over the years can be seen.

Archaelogical Evaluations at Myddelton House

Archaelogical evaluations at Myddelton House have unearthed structural remains - possibly part of Bowling Green House, a house which was demolished in the 1820s. A more recent evaluation in March 2005 revealed some interesting materials such as dressed limestone and a large amount of bottle glass - one part may have belonged to an onion-shaped bottle of c.1680-1720!
