Description
The terraces at Gledstone Hall, designed in 1923 by Sir Edwin Lutyens with the assistance of Gertrude Jekyll, feature retaining walls, pergolas, and steps. Constructed from thin coursed ashlar, the garden is situated on a steeply sloping site. A main terrace runs parallel to the house, with two arms extending at right angles. Five flights of steps descend to a lower terrace that flanks a long pool. At the far end, additional steps lead down past the rounded end of the pool and between the large battered ends of the upper terrace. Each end of the terrace is supported by two pergolas, each consisting of sixteen stone piers. There is also another pergola with twelve piers on the outer side of the eastern terrace. The pool is capped by a segmental arch and vault, with the keystone directing water into it. This site represents the well-preserved culmination of the collaboration between Lutyens and Jekyll.
