Constance Mary Villiers-Stuart (née Fielden, 1876 – 1966) was an English author and water-colour painter.
Villiers-Stuart was brought up at Beachamwell Hall in Norfolk and studied painting in Paris,[1] then married Patrick Villiers-Stuart, a soldier, in 1908 and moved to India, allowing her to collect material for her 1913 book, Gardens of the Great Mughals which launched the historical study of Mughal Gardens.
[2] Chapter XII, on 'Some garden contrasts and a dream' urges respect for Indian design traditions.
Her pleas for an Indian town plan had little effect but she had a conversation with Edwin Lutyens and he read her book.
