Of course the central focus of the grounds is the Holy Well of Our Lady of Fernyhalgh which is pictured below. This is Ladyewell House from the rear - the chapel can be seen upstairs at the left.
The chapel of the English Martyrs features the names of the martyrs around the interior walls. On warmer days the doors get thrown back to allow the Holy Mass or Benediction to be celebrated for an outdoor congregation gathered on the wooden benches.
St. Margaret Clitherow has a special place of honour in the garden. A hand from Canon Bamber's collection of relics, and thought by oral tradition to be St. Margeret Clitherow's, is kept in the reliquary in the main house.
The first 15 mysteries of the Holy Rosary are depicted on Portuguese tiles in a secluded spot with a couple of benches to allow private prayer.
St. Pio is honoured here with a little garden all of his own for people to pray and ask for his intercession.
Here Angeline walks through the set of Stations of the Cross which meander through the trees and down into a hollow. At the centre a small scene depicts Christ rising victorious from the dead!
