Description

This is a pond with surrounding walls, benches, and urns, located 300 metres west of Blagdon Hall. It is part of Sir Edwin Lutyens' garden scheme, created between 1926 and 1938. The pond features tooled ashlar, brick, wood, and bronze materials. It is a circular sunken pond with three segmental sections of wall, each flanked by Italian bronze urns on tall plinths. There are benches supported by scrolled carved stone, and a flight of steps leading up to the east. Recently installed stone and slate paving around the pond follows Lutyens' original design.
