Our journey began with a unique collection of heritage buildings and gardens, the result of many centuries of human settlement in Lexham. Our local history stretches back over 800,000 years, with two mentions in the Domesday book.  A great many generations have loved and laughed at West Lexham. In 1997 the Colville family became custodians of it’s most recent guise – a disused farm set in 21 acres of overgrown land. By 2008, the earliest form of West Lexham as it stands today was conceived, with the Colville’s already hard at work transforming the grounds.
