An intimate Arts and Crafts style family home and complementary gardens
Beyond the arts and crafts beauty of the house and garden, discover Goddards through the eye of Betty Terry, youngest daughter of Noel Terry, great grandson of the founder of the confectionery business, Terry's of York. Follow her anecdotal memories of growing up at Goddards and find out more about the family, factory and cricket in the corridors.
Celebrate 250 years of Terry’s confectionery history (think Chocolate Orange) at the family's former house. In this warm Arts and Crafts building, full of memories, you can sit in the drawing-room, pour yourself a sherry and feel at home. Meander through garden 'rooms', discovering fragrant borders and hidden corners.
The house has selected rooms displayed to give glimpses into the family home and working chocolate factory. The garden includes yew-hedged garden rooms, bowling green, wilderness gardens and plants for every season; it's an oasis for surburban wildlife on the edge of York racecourse.
Note: The house is also used as regional offices for the National Trust in Yorkshire.
