on the estate — a large redwood tree of the Wellingtonia variety stands very much out-of-place at the entrance to the manor house of Arley House, as does one by the footbridge across the River Severn in the village; and the estate buildings, be they commercial or residential, are coloured green and cream, the corporate colours of the Wellington companies. By 2000 and the death of Roger Turner, part of his private park was opened to the public as Arley Arboretum. Symbolically, Turner lies buried in the churchyard and next to the gate leading to the Arboretum and Arley House. Arley Tower, a Grade II listed castellated folly is on Arley Lane close to the river Severn. Arley Studios was opened up in September 2019 on School Bank, Upper Arley on the site of the old Estate offices and is currently the working studios of Artist in Residence, Sarah Stokes.
