We are delighted to host a conversation with Sir Edwin Lutyens’s granddaughter Candia Lutyens and Judith Prause, both Board Directors of the Lutyens Trust America, moderated by Alejandro Saralegui, Director of the Madoo Conservancy, on the intersection of landscape and architecture at Munstead Wood, the home of Gertrude Jekyll (1843-1932). The Grade I listed Munstead Wood in Godalming, Surrey, was designed by a young Edwin Lutyens and constructed from bargate stone and other local materials. Miss Jekyll incorporated many of her own ideas into the design, all of which add to its charm. It was completed in 1897. The garden—also Grade I listed—was created on heath land, some thirteen years before the house was built, during which time Miss Jekyll lived next door in The Hut. Munstead Wood was acquired by Britain’s National Trust in 2023.
A brief film, “Munstead Wood 1896: A House for Miss Gertrude Jekyll” will be shown as well.
