Sarah Russell said… - Thanks Laara, when I have a little time spare, I will give you all a blog about my work there! It is truly a fascinating place - it was quite derelict when I started work there, and it has been such a joy to breathe life back into it. The gardens have been attributed to Harold Peto, as he and Ernest George were commissioned to design the house, but we have no firm proof. The gardens were established around the turn of the century, and there is a lot of archive pictures from that time as it appeared in Country Life several times between 1902 and 1956. Unfortunately (as is so often the case with large stately homes) by the eighties it had gone into hands of someone with little resources for or interest in the gardens so they fell into ruin.

- Hi Laara. You have some great images here. How about some dry stone work in there? London is getting into it! I have an extensive project running at the moment in Totteridge Green. Best wishes
