More about this scene
Situated two and a half miles from Ashford church, Swinford takes its name from a ford for swine. The manor house dates back to the 13th century, and formed part of a large estate. Its most famous resident was the poet Alfred Austin, who was Poet Laureate from 1896 to 1913. His most well known work is 'The Garden That I Love'. Critics, however, described him as 'snobbish and tasteless'.
