The house was built for the founder of the early lifestyle magazine Country Life, Edward Hudson, essentially as a show home.[3] It was featured in the magazine. The house has subsequently been considerably extended on its north side. The garden (c. 1 hectare) was planted by Gertrude Jekyll. Although in the centre of the village next to St Andrew's Church and the Bull Inn, the house and garden are very secluded, being surrounded by high walls. However, the garden can be viewed from the church tower.[4]
Ownersedit
Deanery Garden was owned by Nigel Broackes (from the early 1970s) and Stanley Seeger during the 1980s. Marian Thompson helped to restore the garden. The house and gardens, which are now owned by Jimmy Page, guitarist with the group Led Zeppelin,[1] are not open to the public.
