| 説明 | In 1898 Lionel Philips, later to become a Baronet, purchased the Hall and Estate for £77,000.Sir Lionel Philips’ Tylney Hall is the House which still stands today. Nikalaus Pevsner described the house as being conservative for its date with the gardens and asymmetrical tower being the only piece whose details look truly 1900. The Smoking Room ceiling was copied from a 16th Century model but the crowning glory was the Great Hall partially panelled in Italian Walnut with a fine stone fireplace and an Italian ceiling brought in sections from the Grimation Palace in Florence. Through its history, Tylney Hall has served a number of purposes including a school from 1948 to 1984. This period caused the once immaculate gardens to suffer greatly as The formal gardens were concreted over and turned into tennis courts, while other areas were left to overgrow and deteriorate.Since 1985 a painstaking restoration programme has been in place to reinstate the gardens to their former glory. Current achievements include bringing the Water Gardens back to their former glory, restoring the lake bridge, planting the Kitchen Garden with top fruit and creating an herb garden, the produce of which is now being used in the Kitchen. |
