The design for the King Edward VII hospital and its grounds was undertaken by an important triumvirate of the day: Charles Holden and Percy Adams of London Underground Station fame and Gertrude Jekyll, celebrated garden designer. It was a successful partnership and cornerstone of the Arts and Crafts Movement.

GLORIOUS GERTRUDE JEKYLL GARDENS

The elegant King Edward VII Estate gardens were designed by highly acclaimed 19th century landscape garden designer, Gertrude Jekyll, who worked closely with Percy Adams to allow the integration of the architecture and gardens that can still be seen today. They are an early 20th century example of a therapeutic garden and are of considerable historic interest in their own right. They will be restored to their former glory and lovingly brought back to life after more than a century of neglect.

George Clarke known to many TV viewers as ‘The Restoration Man’ is also an architect, television presenter, writer and man with a plan to change the face of Britain. Here he talks about architecture and the King Edward VII Estate.

RESTORATION MAN GEORGE CLARKE

34 01730 81 79 79 www.kevii-estate.co.uk YOU HAVE BEEN QUOTED AS SAYING ‘ARCHITECTURE HAS A PROFOUND EFFECT ON OUR EVERYDAY LIVES’. IN WHAT WAYS DO YOU THINK THAT THIS IS TRUE?

I think how buildings are built, how they feel, how they are “ lit, how you move through them, what they are made out of and what their finishes are, all have an effect on you, even if it’s at a subliminal level.

The most important piece of architecture in everyone’s lives is the house that they live in. It is certainly likely to be the most expensive thing you will ever buy and invest in and, when you think about it, it really crafts your experience of everyday life — like an extended member of the family. ”

YOU HAVE USED YOUR CELEBRITY TO HIGHLIGHT THE PLIGHT OF HISTORIC AND EMPTY BUILDINGS IN THE UK. WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT TO YOU?

I think all of our old buildings are part of our heritage really. “ Britain has such a rich history that millions of people from abroad come to this country every year to see. In fact, when you look at tourism statistics, about £120 billion is drawn into the economy from overseas visitors and the large majority of that is all about our historic buildings and landscapes. They have a staggering value to them. ”

LISTED BUILDINGS ARE RENOWNED FOR BEING DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH, TIED UP IN RED TAPE AND PLANNING RESTRICTIONS BUT THIS DOESN’T SEEM TO DETER YOU. WHAT MAKES THEM SO ATTRACTIVE TO YOU TO WORK WITH?

Yes listed buildings can be difficult but they are listed for “ good reason and that’s to preserve them for the future. Yes there’s red tape and yes there’s bureaucracy — but the reason we have that is because we have lost too much in the past. I am not saying that every single building in Britain should be preserved; you have to find the right balance. I think I’ve found whilst doing Restoration Man that people share that passion with me — they want an old building that has got character and personality and a really fascinating story to tell. ”

Most developers regard such buildings as ‘difficult’ or ‘awkward’ and don’t see their true value, which is why I have been delighted to see, at first hand, the work of City & Country over the past few years. You can’t underestimate how relieved I am to see these historic buildings from Britain’s rich architectural heritage being preserved, transformed and enjoyed once again.”

SALUS PER AQUAE SIX SPAS

The origin of the word ‘spa’ is uncertain but one suggestion is that it is an acronym for the Latin phrase ‘salus per aquae’ or health through water. An alternative suggestion is that it comes from the Belgian town of Spa, famed since Roman times for its baths. There are a number of spas near to King Edward VII Estate and here are six of the best (in no particular order!)

GLORIOUS GOODWOOD

At Goodwood, good is never enough for us - everything has to be glorious. Whether it is motor racing, horse racing, golf or the stunning art collection in the house, everything has to be perfect.

104 01730 81 79 79 www.kevii-estate.co.uk Not far from the King Edward VII Estate is the Earl of March’s Goodwood Estate. Goodwood House was built in 1697 but the story goes back to a much smaller house in a nearby downland village and back still further to the City of London.

The first Duke of Richmond, son of King Charles II and his French mistress Louise de Keroualle, had a passion for hunting which led him to search for a country retreat away from Richmond House, his town house in London. He bought the original Jacobean house in Goodwood Park in 1697, hunting in the nearby village of Charlton where he later used Fox Hall as his base for what had become a highly popular and fashionable hunt.

Goodwood House itself was later extended with the third Duke of Richmond having grand plans for an octagon but he ran out of funds and the building was never completed. Consequently he commissioned the architect James Wyatt to extend the house, build an orangery and the magnificent stables next to the house itself. The Duke’s hounds were comfortably housed in the The Kennels, also designed by Wyatt and which have recently been restored to form the Clubhouse for members of the various Goodwood sporting clubs. A man of extraordinary vision and energy, the third Duke laid the foundations of the great house and estate that we see today.

He was an active politician, serving in cabinet and became British Ambassador to Paris where he collected the beautiful tapestries, furniture and porcelain on display in Goodwood House.

In 1802 he set about re-forming the landscape on top of the Downs above his home to establish a racecourse where he raced with members of the Sussex Militia. Today the racecourse is a world-renowned sporting arena, often described as the most beautiful racecourse in the world.

Throughout the last three centuries, the Dukes of Richmond have gathered an impressive art collection and the estate has constantly been renewed and rejuvenated to meet the challenges of successive new opportunities.

The modernisation of the estate was inspired by the tenth Duke of Richmond who returned to his family home after a successful career in business. He opened the house and its art collections to the public, expanded the horse racing programme and brought major international sporting events to the house and surrounding parkland.

Latterly his son the Earl of March has further developed the family home to meet the challenges of the 21st Century, reviving the motor racing events first established by his Grandfather, the ninth Duke and investing in the original downland golf course, the organic farm, the Goodwood Hotel and restoring the house itself to its former Regency glory.

200 years after the third Duke of Richmond first brought horseracing to the Estate, as well as being acknowledged as one of the most beautiful race courses in the world, it is renowned for its unique sense of relaxed style and superlative standards of service and quality. Indeed, King Edward VII never missed a year’s racing at Goodwood and delighted in the informal atmosphere, describing it ‘as a garden party with racing’.

Horseracing brings large numbers of visitors to Goodwood, drawn not only by the stunning location of the Racecourse but also by the quality of the horse racing. The annual Raceweek —‘Glorious Goodwood’ — staged at the end of July, has become an essential fixture in the English social calendar. For five enthralling days, the racecourse is awash with colour — a vibrant sea of Panamas, Pimms and panache!

In addition to Raceweek there are numerous other race meetings throughout the season, including several evening meetings.

Over the past two decades Goodwood has built a reputation for delivering sport in a thrilling, creative and unconventional way. Nowhere else in the world has such an enviable sporting heritage or such an extraordinary range of sporting activities.
