Vicarage near Bristol which Canon Ellacombe created during the last half of the
19th century and before the First World War. But in a series of articles which
he wrote for the Guardian, the Canon described how, season by season, step by
step, he lovingly chose and planted the shrubs, flowers and herbs which drew
visitors from near and far. These articles were collected into one volume and
published in 1895 as : In A Gloucestershire Garden. It is re-issued here for the
first time in hardcover. ISBN: 0712600272
