Pednor House

[1] The original 17th century timber-framed house was enlarged in 1910 under the architects James Edwin Forbes and John Duncan Tate (as Forbes and Tate) in the Arts and Crafts style.

Originally a farmhouse, the barns and outbuildings were converted into a single large residence.

In his 2000 book The Gardens of Gertrude Jekyll, Richard Bisgrove described Jekyll's detailed plan for Pednor House as creating planting in "carefully disposed in repeated and irregular groups to provide a low mosaic of flowers and foliage throughout the year".

Smith's photographs of Pednor House are in the collection of the British Architectural Library.

[5] The house was owned by the British Army officer and former Governor of the Bahamas Daniel Knox, 6th Earl of Ranfurly, for several years and was put up for sale by him in 1963 through Knight, Frank and Rutley.
