Gardens

NOTES: The gardens at Hidcote Manor (a late 17th century building, refaced in the 18th century with 20th century additions) were laid out between 1907 and 1930 by the garden designer Lawrence Johnston, whose mother had acquired the estate in 1907.

NOTES: Folly Farm was a 17th century farmhouse, which was extended twice by Lutyens in the early 20th century. First, shortly after 1906 by the new owner H.H. Cochrane, who employed Lutyens to enlarge the house for him, and produced a relatively small, dolls-house-like extension in a late 17th century style. He also (with the help of Jekyll), laid out the first phase of the garden in a simple manner, adjacent to the east and south fronts. In 1912 the house was bought by Zachary Merton who also employed Lutyens to extend the house to the west in his `Surrey style'. At the same time a parterre garden was created and a Dutch canal replaced previous tennis courts, with planting advice from Jekyll. See RIBA150439 for a black and white version of this image.
