Elizabethan Garden

Signs in this tiny walled garden cast light on 16th-century medical thinking, outlining which herbs were used to cure which ailment: soapwort for syphilis, woad to staunch bleeding and bay for bee stings. It's accessed via an easy-to-miss gate and cobbled alley at the side of the Totnes Elizabethan Museum.
