St Paul's Walden Bury

[2] The house, of red brick with stone dressings and slate roofs, was built around the 1730s for Edward Gilbert (1680–1762).

[4] James Paine made alterations to the house in the 1770s,[5] which was also extended to the rear in the late nineteenth century.

Geoffrey Jellicoe (1900–1996), the landscape designer, restored and "improved" the 18th-century work.

There are three straight grassed allées radiating in patte d'oie ("goose foot") formation from the garden front of the house.

[4] In the 1950s a circular temple designed by James Wyatt was rescued and brought here from Copped Hall, Essex, when that house burned down.
