English: Waterperry Gardens The village of Waterperry lies 7 miles (11 km) east of Oxford on the border with Buckinghamshire. Waterperry House is the former home of the Curzon and Henley families, representatives of which lie in the adjacent private grave-yard. The House, which stands in 8 acres of attractive gardens, is a hybrid of architectural styles; originally a 17th century mansion, it was remodelled in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The Waterlily Canal, shown here, is studded with jewel-like waterlilies including varieties like James Brydon, Escarboucle, Gladstoniana, Texas Dawn, Cromatella, Perry's Pink. The statue of Miranda from Shakespeare's The Tempest, sculptured by Tanya Russel surveys the scene.
