Diary of Genesta Heath (aged 18) - Friday 27th April 1917

Kitlands is another family home, said to date from Saxon times. It is a rambling old house, enlarged from time to time, and set in a wonderful garden. Here there are walls of rhododendrons, glades of roses and azaleas and some exotic and quite famous trees, brought back from distant lands by my grandfather, the sailor Leopold Heath (Admiral Sir Leopold Heath), and given to his brother Douglas who was a dedicated gardener.
