Description

The retaining walls of the lily pond, flanking garden walls, summerhouse, steps, and terrace are located to the west of Abbotswood and were designed around 1902 by Sir Edwin Lutyens. These rubble stone walls are buttressed on the inside and feature downward ramps and low ball-capped piers leading to a flagged terrace that is accessed by two flights of steps. The lily pond measures about 20 yards long and approximately 4 yards wide, ending in a circular pool beneath an apsed exedra that is positioned below the house. The west end of the pond is segmental, echoing the curve of the platform that surrounds the circular pool. A summerhouse with a hipped roof and two Roman Doric columns is situated against the south wall, facing the rose garden.
