The gardens at Moor Close, Binfield, England, are a
hidden gem of the Arts & Crafts period. In 1911,
millionaire Charles Birch Crisp asked the then
unknown architect Oliver Hill to enlarge the existing
house and create new gardens featuring curved
staircases, pergolas and pavilions. Unfortunately the
gardens fell into disrepair after Crisp ran into
financial difficulties and the property was bought by
Newbold College. Through renewed interest in Hill’s
work, the house and gardens are now listed and are
currently being restored.
The Restoration project
The gardens are currently being restored.
A management group has been established to coordinate activities and restoration.
Restoration takes time and funding, and while some work has already been done, a lot more is still in the planning stage.
Focus is also on a smaller portion of the garden named Sylvia's Garden, which has it's own website.
