Garsdon Manor was once the property of Good Queen Maud, wife of King Henry I .

The Elizabethan ceiling was ornamented with terminals of roses and pears. The richly embellished fireplace was decorated with fashionable coupled Corinthian columns at either side. Through the window of their reception room the Moodys could see the morning sun rising over Garsdon Church across the green fields."
