Goddards

On Monday 10 June we organised another successful visit to Goddards, one of Lutyens most important early houses built in traditional Surrey style.

The house and gardens remain unaltered and unspoilt and the house hase many interesting and quirky features and with the furniture still intact.

 

The famous indoor skittle alley was built to amuse the” ladies of small means” who repaired there for a holiday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beautiful gardens including the courtyard garden designed by Lutyens and planted by Gertrude Jekyll restored using her original plants.
