Putteridge Bury

Putteridge Bury is a country house on the edge of the built-up area of Luton, Bedfordshire, England but located just over the county boundary in the parish of Offley in Hertfordshire.

The mansion was built in the style of Chequers by architects Sir Ernest George and Alfred Yeats and completed in 1911.

The grounds were redesigned by Edwin L Lutyens, soon to be recognised as the foremost architect of the era, and planted by Gertrude Jekyll, one of the first lady Victorian gardeners.

In 1965 it was acquired by Luton Borough Council and opened as Putteridge Bury College of Education in 1966.

From 1985 the function rooms were gradually renovated to their original splendour and to conference centre standards.
