The
Temple
The
great storm of ‘87 blew down forty trees in the shrubbery
leaving it exposed and bare. In 1992, Richard (grandson of
the orginal Lord Mersey who bought Bignor in 1926) and his
wife Joanna built a temple to commemorate his mother's 80th
birthday together with her ancestor Lady Nairne who wrote
Jacobite songs: ‘Charlie is me darlin”, ‘Caller Herrin” and
‘Will ye no come back again?’. This was built in a gap left
by the storm.
