Stoke Edith House

[2] Lingen's widow, Alice Pye of the Mynnd, sold the manor in the 1670s to the ironmaster Thomas Foley, who settled it on his second son Paul.

[1] The present Stoke Edith House (once the Rectory), the park and extensive agricultural and woodlands remain in the ownership of the Foley family.

[8] The Stoke Edith Wall Hanging, dating to 1710-20 and which originally hung in the house, is now on display in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

[11] This included an arabesque pattern, box edging, coloured walks, steep grass slope, and beech trees.

Garden fittings included a statue of old Father Time and a sundial with the motto Horas non numero nisi serenas[12] ("I count only the sunny hours").
