About this product
Product Information
A great 20th-century garden and Victorian Gothic Revival restored, Knightshayes is much more than it fi rst appears. Both house and garden were created for local entrepreneurs and philanthropists, the Heath Amorys. Sir John commissioned William Burges to build a Victorian country house. Burges designed him a medieval fantasy. This 64-page souvenir guide peels back the layers to show how the Heathcoat Amorys adapted William Burgesa fantasy designs into something they could live with. J.D. Crace from the famous family firm of interior designers moderated Burgesa designs as well as creating some of his own. Finally, the 20thcentury Heathcoat Amorys made their own changes to the interiors. Consequently, Knightshayes today shows the infl uence of all these phases and fashions from the bold medievalism of the exterior and the Great Hall to the soft furnishings and pastel shades favoured in the 1970s. The garden is a less complex story to unravel but no less impressive for that. Joyce, Lady Heathcoat Amory came to Knightshayes in the 1930s and set about creating one of the countrya s great 20thcentury gardens. Her husband, Sir John, left Knightshayes to the National Trust in 1972 and today the garden represents one of the most comprehensive plant collections cared for by the National Trust. The walled Kitchen Garden is a model of productivity and self-suffi ciency and the estate off ers walks through parkland of fi ne old trees. A full-colour birda s-eye view shows the extent of the estate and the walks you can enjoy during a visit to Knightshayes. The guide focuses on the designs of William Burges and J.D. Crace in turn as well as shining a light on notable Knightshayes residents including Joyce, Lady Heathcoat Amory, the finest lady golfer of her generation if not of the 20th century. Jo Moore is a freelance curator with many years of experience working with the National Trust with particular knowledge of National Trust properties in Devon and Cornwall and is the author of the guidebook for Coleton Fishacre.

This seller gave excellent communication & a full refund when the book I ordered was found to be damaged at the warehouse. They sent a very apologetic email explaining the issue & refunded me straight away. I have used this seller before & they have always been reliable & prompt with delivery. The items have also been in even better condition than described for an amazingly reasonable price. This was not their fault, so I would definitely buy from this seller again & recommend them to others.
