BOTTOM: The proposed Pool building sits in a colourful sunken garden, generously planted with shrubs, grasses and shaped bushes. After decades of neglect, Hascombe Court will have beautiful gardens once more. Hascombe Court WA/2013/0631 & 0632 P 3/14 The refurbishment of the Coach House comprises a major part of our application. We found the building in a sorry state with serious structural and weathering faults, stripped of almost all original features, poorly decorated and maintained. The Coach House will be repaired and refurbished as we have done the Main House. Important features relating to its original function as a Motor Garage will be retained, for example the Inspection Pit and original stair leading to chauffeur’s accomodation. Hascombe Court WA/2013/0631 & 0632 P 4/14 Aside from the Main House & Coach House there are seven listed buildings/features in the gardens. There are a number of other important, non-listed buildings. All are in need of restoration, while some have been grossly neglected and are in a dangerous state. Exceptional effort is being made to ensure that these features will be sensitively restored. As an example, the poor-quality shingle roof of the Rock Garden Pavilion is being reinstated with its original reed-thatched roof. TOP: Photos of dilapidated Rock Garden Pavilion, 2013.

    THE LUTYENS TRUST To protect and promote the spirit and substance of the work of Sir Edwin Lutyens O.M. NEWSLETTER WINTER 2021 A REVIEW OF NEW BOOK ARTS & CRAFTS CHURCHES BY ALEC HAMILTON By Ashley Courtney It’s hard to believe this is the first book devoted to Arts and Crafts churches in the UK, but then perhaps a definition of these isn’t easy, making them hard to categorise? Alec Hamilton’s book, published by Lund Humphries – whose cover features a glorious image of St Andrew’s Church in Sunderland, of 1905 to 1907, designed by Albert Randall Wells and Edward Schroeder Prior – is split into two parts. The first, comprising an introduction and three chapters, attempts a definition, placing this genre in its architectural, social and religious contexts, circa 1900. The second, larger section divides the UK into 14 regions, and shows the best examples in each one; it also includes useful vignettes on artists and architects of importance. For the author, there is no hard- and-fast definition of an Arts and Crafts church, but he makes several attempts, including one that states: “It has to be built in or after 1884, the founding date of the Art Workers’ Guild”. He does get into a bit of a pickle, however, but bear with it as there is much to learn. For example, I did not know about the splintering of established religion, the Church of England, into a multitude of Nonconformist explorations. Added to that were the social missions whose goal was to improve the lot of the impoverished; here social space and church overlapped and adherents of the missions, such as CR Ashbee, taught Arts and Crafts skills.

This states that a landscape character assessment linked to criteria based policy approach should provide sufficient protection for these areas provided such designations are based on a formal and robust assessment of the qualities of the landscape concerned. Against this background, Chris Burnett Associates (CBA) were commissioned to undertake a review of the Surrey AGLV by the Surrey Planning Officers Association. (SPOA) The study commenced with a review of historic background. It established that the Surrey Hills AONB is closely linked with the designation of the AGLV. The first County Plan approved in 1958 showed the first AGLV area, which was a smaller area incorporating the North Downs escarpment and the area of Greensand Hills surrounding Leith Hill. The AONB designated in the same year incorporated the original AGLV area but was much larger including the Greensand Valleys, the whole of the Frensham / Devils Punch Bowl plateau and parts of the Wooded Weald.

The White Horse has a large garden and a restaurant serving locally-sourced food, described as good value by walkers. Note that the pub doesn’t open till 12 noon . The bar is open every day.
