Type and Period (1)
- FORMAL GARDEN (Designed 1927, Modern - 1927 AD? to 1999 AD)
Description
1927 G. Jekyll was commisioned to design and build the garden, whether or not this ever occurred is unknown. AP's show formal area with mature trees. Everything pretty much still intact (B1).
A compact Arts and Crafts garden for a smaller country house built to designs by Walter Sarel incorporating an earlier, modest farm house and kitchen garden. The layout includes a sequence of formal garden compartments surrounding the kitchen garden, within a wider informal landscape of Chiltern woodland and paddocks, itself within a wider rural setting. Planting advice was provided by Gertrude Jekyll and a planting plan survives. Much of the layout survives but the planting has been
considerably simplified and it is unclear whether any of the Jekyll planting survives. (See report for detail)(B2).
