Juliana's Island
Think Bridgeton meets Vogue.
Juliana's Island
Imagine standing on an island in the middle of a lake surrounded by your closest family and friends, against a backdrop of tumbling roses, birdsong and ‘Bridgerton-esque’ gardens.
Juliana’s Island has charm by the bucket load and is named after Juliana de Leyburne, who lived at Preston Court in the 12th century. If you look carefully into the lake, you can see the remains of small flint wall which formed part of her manor house.
Before Juliana, at around the same time that St Mildred came to Preston, a Monastery was built at Preston Court. It was at this time that the lakes were dug as ‘stew ponds’ for the monks, who traditionally ate fresh fish on a Friday.
Don’t be surprised if the farm horses (sometimes it’s the sheep) in the surrounding fields start cantering as your reception music starts. This is because you become part of the family when you choose to get married here and that family includes the animals and we all like a party.
