MARTONS BOTH GLEDSTONE ROAD (east side) Terraces at Gledstone Hall
GV II*
Retaining walls, pergolas and steps, 1923 by Sir Edwin Lutyens with the assistance of Gertrude Jekyll. Thin coursed ashlar. The garden was laid out on a steeply sloping site with a terrace parallel to the house and two arms coming off this at right angles. Between them five flights of steps descend to a lower terrace flanking a long pool, and at the further end more steps lead down past the rounded end of the pool and between the great battered ends of the upper terrace. These ends of the terrace support two pergolas each of sixteen stone piers. Another pergola of twelve piers leads off the outer side of the eastern terrace. The pool ends under a segmental arch and vault, the keystone of which feeds it. The well-preserved final fruit of the collaboration between Lutyens and Jekyll. Jane Brown: Gardens of a Golden Afternoon, 1982, p 138.
