[10] In 1906 Robert E. A. Murray, a descendant of the Duke of Atholl, employed the architect J. D. Coleridge to build him a house in a woodland clearing on a plateau above the village of Hascombe.

The property was bought by Sir John Jarvis, 1st Baronet, who employed Gertrude Jekyll in 1922 to extend the garden (Plans, NMR), working with the architect C. Clare Nauheim.

Jarvis bought unemployed miners from the northern industrial town of Jarrow to Hascombe Court, where they built a Japanese style water and rock garden to Cane's design.

[13] In 1999 2,418 kg (5,331 lb) of yew clippings were collected from the Hascombe Court estate by Evans's gardeners, and were given to the cancer research charity, Limehurst.

[14][15] The adjoining 130 acre Hascombe Court Farm was sold by Evans for £6 million to Anthea Turner and Grant Bovey in 2009.
