hichele College founded in 1422 by Archbishop
Chichele, fell into disrepair following the dissolution
of the monasteries by Henry VIII. It was taken over
by the Ministry of Works and subsequently by English
Heritage. Higham Ferrers Tourism Group now manages
the site on behalf of English Heritage. A newly created
Medieval Garden was opened in 2012 and is continuing
to evolve as a place for contemplation, recreation and
education for the local community.
