Lyveden – National Trust
Lyveden is the enduring
realisation of one man’s belief and commitment against the odds in Elizabethan England. Rocked by dramatic changes in English society and threatened by persecution
for persisting in his personal belief, Sir Thomas Tresham (1543-1605) designed his symbolic landscape and garden lodge to stand in testament of his faith.
