Waterperry House and Gardens
Waterperry House is a year-round educational centre hosting residential studies in Philosophy, Economics and the Arts. Waterperry House and Gardens are owned by the Fellowship of the School of Economic Science, an educational charity which organises Art in Action. Most of the volunteers who staff Art in Action attend Philosophy courses at one of the School's many centres in the UK, Europe, USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand.

Waterperry House is a hybrid of architectural styles. The elegant Queen Anne facade was rebuilt by Sir John Curson in 1713.The village of Waterperry is recorded in the Doomsday Book to 1086.

Waterperry Gardens are open for most of the year. Apart from the delightful gardens which includes the national collection of Alpine Saxifrages, there is a Plant Centre with an outstanding stock of plants including many unusual varieties, Garden Shop, Art and Craft Gallery, Rural Life Museum, Pear Tree Tea Shop and Saxon Church.
