• The elegant, segmentally bowed entrance and garden elevations, both with raised attic storeys, are beautifully proportioned. • The balanced, superbly proportioned and rhythmic elevations are executed in precise masonry with refined incised decoration, as applied also to the Entrance Gateway and the Bridge, thereby establish- ing group value. • The rustication to the lower storey, bands of horizontal grooves creating cill and string courses, pan- els of Greek-key pattern below the first floor windows, and a band of horizontal grooves to create a ‘token’ entablature below the deeply projecting cornice, all contribute to the significance of the exceptionally beautiful exterior of the building. The late Sir John Summerson, an acknowledged authority on Soane, considered Tyringham to have ‘façade modelling of extreme delicacy’. • The elevations display a subtle polychromatic appearance resulting from the use of three different types of stone: warm buff Totternhoe for main walls, white Portland for windows, cills and bowed attic storeys, and grey Weldon for the parapet balustrade and incised string-courses. • Soane’s vernacular use of local stone: Totternhoe from Bedfordshire and Weldon from Northamptonshire. • The well-proportioned and delicate vertical sliding-sash windows having exceptionally fine joinery. Indeed, many sashes on the ground floor have slender metal (rather than wood) glazing-bars, an extremely early example of the use of this material to achieve extra refinement.

Tyringham.indd 17 14/04/2011 10:29:07 HISTORY Tyringham Hall was designed by Sir John Soane in 1792 for William Praed, renowned banker and MP. Soane is internationally regarded as one of the greatest architects of the neo-classical period. Tyringham was one of a series of new country houses designed by Soane, and the largest of the new villas constructed when his idiosyncratic style had fully matured. Sir John Soane records in his memoirs “this villa (was) completed and occupied in the year 1797, after having engaged a large proportion of six of the most happy years of my life.”

The copper dome to the main house and the French Boiseries were later editions, easily contrasting with the predominantly Greek style of the original building.

In the 1920’s, the then owner, Frederick Konig, commissioned Sir Edwin Lutyens to construct the substantial outdoor swimming pool (now the ornamental pond), the bathing pavilion, the Temple of Music and to carry out extensive landscaping. The Temple of Music received a gold medal for design and both pavilions are unique to this country. To each side of the elegant, round basin between the two ornamental ponds are two pillars with leopard statues, designed by William Macmillan. Macmillan also designed the fountain to the front elevation of the house featuring Diana and Apollo. The bridge at the entrance to Tyringham, (not owned) is Grade I listed and a scheduled Ancient Monument.

Following Konig’s death in 1940, Tyringham became a maternity home during World War II and was subsequently purchased by the Australia and New Zealand Bank as a weekend club. In 1966, Tyringham Hall was sold to a Trust headed by Sir Maurice Laing and the Tyringham Naturopathic Clinic was opened in 1967 by Sydney Rose-Neil.

The present owners purchased the house 12 years ago and have made extensive and sympathetic improvements throughout. Enormous attention has been paid to detail. Tyringham Hall has been transformed into excellent, world class accommodation for family, entertaining and friends.

The influence of his work, coming at the end of which would later on serve as the seat of the Government of India. In recognition of his the Georgian era, was swamped by the revival styles of the 19th century. It was not until contribution, New Delhi is also known as Lutyens’ Delhi.

ACCOMMODATION The approach to Tyringham Hall passes through a monumental arch linking two Gatehouse and over a hump bridge both designed by Sir John Soane. The imposing stone gate piers lie just beyond and lead through the mature tree lined drive to an elegant gravel sweep to the front of the house. The outer walls of the house are constructed from a solid brickwork base with ashlar masonry. Three types of limestone are used, Buff Totternhoe for the main walling, White Portland for windowsill and capitals, and grey Weldon for string courses, eaves and parapet balustrading.

Soanes characteristic incised decoration appears on all four elevations in the forms of bands of horizontal grooves, string courses, “token” cornices and Greek key freeze between ground and first floor windows. The Mansard roofs to the attic storey are covered in blue/grey Welsh slate, with the remaining flat roofs covered in cast lead sheet. The Dome is copper clad and has now developed a pale green patina. In all, the facades show modelling of extreme delicacy.

Four stone pillars flank circular steps leading to the front door and into the Reception Hall.

Large ornately topped pillars, exquisite wall carvings or rams heads, a carved marble fireplace and a green and maroon marble floor greet the visitor, creating an atmosphere of grandeur and opulence. A glazed door leads up to the breakfast area with family kitchen beyond. Ahead a central passageway leads to the principal reception rooms.

FormalFormal GardensGardens

Tier Garden

The formal gardens include some of the most impressive landscaping work of the Lutyens era.

His grand axial design stretches away from the north west facade of the house. Semi circular steps lead down from the balustraded terrace to the 72 m long rectangular reflecting pool flanked on either side by clipped yew blocks interspersed with lavender and rose beds. Beyond this is a circular basin between 2 Portland stone Doric monoliths surmounted by lead leopards spouting water into the pool. Beyond this again is a further 36 m long rectangular pool.

The remainder of the gardens have been largely reconstructed and enhanced providing major contemporary elements perfectly setting off the more historic features. A semi-circular loggia overlooks an ornamental pond, perfect for relaxing close by to the house. There are sunken rose gardens, formal lawns, a herb garden, a lime walk underplanted with lavender and a new planting of Yew mounds, set in an intricate cloud-like design. These plantings have a sculptural feel and flank a wide gravel courtyard lined with espaliered hornbeam designed by Julian and Isabel Bannerman.

Beyond the formal gardens lie woodland areas interspersed with a myriad of paths, and containing numerous specimen ornamental trees and shrubs. An all weather tennis court is tucked discreetly away yet within easy reach of the house and outdoor swimming pool.

Vineyard

The old walled garden has been partially converted to the planting of vines. These are a variety of grape including about 50% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir and the remaining 5% are Pinot Meunier. They were planted in 2008 and will create a very good English sparkling wine. The grapes are taken to Vivid Wines for further wine production. To the west of the walled garden is the storage area with outbuildings for machinery and garden equipment.

Dusk at Tyringham

A building of stone with stepped roof and dome designed by Lutyens. The Bathing Pavilion is set at the eastern end of the outdoor pool and provides a large central space which could be used for dining together with changing facilities, WC and a small kitchen area. A inscription inside can be translated “designed to refresh the mind through exercise of the body.”

42 Swimming Pool and Jacuzzi

43 TempleTemple ofof Music Music

This building is in part modelled on elements in the Viceroy’s palace in Delhi, which Lutyens was building at the time but also matches the Tyringham dome. It was built to promulgate the Theosophist movement, which encouraged the union of all religions and included a large Organ, now removed, to celebrate Music. The interiors include malachite, scagglioli and Carrara marble. The Corinthian columbs are green scagglioli, the floor black grey and white marble, with a disk of lapis lazuli set in malachite at the centre of the star.
