Bridge connecting garden to main house
Garden building at The Pleasaunce. It takes elements that could be blandly neogeorgian and plays with them.

Villers-Bretonneux is a village 16 kilometres east of Amiens on the straight main road to St Quentin. Villers-Bretonneux Military Cemetery is about 2 kilometres north of the village on the east side of the road to Fouilloy.

Architect; Sir Edwin (Landseer) Lutyens, 1906. Another less important service area (I assume) on the side elevation near kitchen entrance, beautifully proportioned and lighthearted.
Built in 1911 by Edwin Lutyens. The gateway erupts out of a perfectly ordinary run of brick walling.
Orders for the immediate recapture of Villers-Bretonneux were met with a plan to launch an attack by two brigades, the 13th and the 15th. The unconventional night attack began on the 24th. One brigade approached from the north and one from the south, meeting at the village's eastern edge, thereby surrounding the Germans and driving them from Villers-Bretonneux and the adjacent woods.

By: 18th c. house renovated by Sir Edwin Lutyens Location: Rolvenden, Kent, England Description: The original name of the Manor here was Great Maytham. In 1721 James Monypenny built a house here which he called Maytham Hall. This was...largely burned down in 1893. This house consisted of a main block of 2 storeys and basement and 2 pavilions containing the laundry and stables. These eighteenth century wings largely survive, but the main building was rebuilt two storeys higher by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1909-12 ... The walled garden of Great Maytham Hall provided the inspiration for one of the most famous of all books for children, The Secret Garden. Its author, Frances Hodgson Burnett, lived at Great Maytham Hall from 1898 to 1907, where she found the old walled garden dating from 1721 sadly overgrown and neglected. Aided by a robin, Burnett discovered the door hidden amongst the ivy, and began the restoration of the garden, which she planted with hundreds of roses. She set up a table and chair in the gazebo, and dressed always in a white dress and large hat, she wrote a number of books in the peace and tranquility of her scented secret garden. When Lutyens rebuilt Great Maytham Hall he retained the old walled garden as an adjunct to the grand new brick house in the manner of Sir Christopher Wren, but landscaped the terraced lawns and surrounding parkland in his signature style, in partnership with Gertrude Jekyll, who planted his design. The gardens and grounds were well cared for by the Tennants until the outbreak of the Second World War, when the house was requisitioned by the army. As part of the "Dig for Victory" campaign, Frances Hodgson Burnett's beautiful roses were replaced with cabbages and leeks, and the manicured lawns were patriotically planted with potatoes and carrots. A jettisoned German bomb in the middle of the former lawn did not help to improve matters, and after the war the house stood empty for many years, and the gardens were left to decline." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Maytham_Hall www.sunleyheritage.co.uk/PDFs/Great_Maytham_brochure.pdf

The west side of the house. I find that big dormer slightly uncomfortable rising directly above a window of the same width. Daneshill House was built by Edwin Lutyens for Walter Hoare, who was fortunate enough to own a brickworks. The house dates from about 1903. After passing out of residential use it became a private school and is now part of an office park.
