A great 20th-century garden and Victorian Gothic Revival restored, Knightshayes is much more than it first appears. Both house and garden were created for local entrepreneurs and philanthropists, the Heath Amorys. Sir John commissioned William Burges to build a Victorian country house. Burges designed him a medieval fantasy. This 64-page souvenir guide peels back the layers to show how the Heathcoat Amorys adapted William Burges’ fantasy designs into something they could live with. J.D. Crace from the famous family firm of interior designers moderated Burges’ designs as well as creating some of his own. Finally, the 20th century Heathcoat Amorys made their own changes to the interiors. Consequently, Knightshayes today shows the influence of all these phases and fashions from the bold medievalism of the exterior and the Great Hall to the soft furnishings and pastel shades favoured in the 1970s. The garden is a less complex story to unravel but no less impressive for that. Joyce, Lady Heathcoat Amory came to Knightshayes in the 1930s and set about creating one of the country’s great 20thcentury gardens. Her husband, Sir John, left Knightshayes to the National Trust in 1972 and today the garden represents one of the most comprehensive plant collections cared for by the National Trust. The walled Kitchen Garden is a model of productivity and self-sufficiency and the estate offers walks through parkland of fine old trees. A full-color bird’s-eye view shows the extent of the estate and the walks you can enjoy during a visit to Knightshayes. The guide focuses on the designs of William Burges and J.D. Crace in turn as well as shining a light on notable Knightshayes residents including Joyce, Lady Heathcoat Amory, the finest lady golfer of her generation if not of the 20th century. Jo Moore is a freelance curator with many years of experience working with the National Trust with particular knowledge of National Trust properties in Devon and Cornwall and is the author of the guidebook for Coleton Fishacre.

<p>Nestled in a sub-tropical garden overlooking the River Dart, Greenway has an exceptional and enviable location. It certainly caught the eye of Agatha Christie, who knew the area as a child and, having made her name as a world-famous crime-writer, made it her holiday home. Greenway was the family’s retreat, far from public life. Her grandson, Mathew Prichard who has provided the guidebook’s foreword, remembers visits to Greenway usually took place ‘…when she had just finished writing her book, so it was family time’; or in Agatha’s words, ‘We do exactly as we like in this house.’ This included entertaining, playing the piano and reading, and delighting in the setting, playing croquet and clock golf. Max and Agatha were enthusiastic collectors and the fruits of their labours are proudly displayed throughout the house. Greenway now stands as a near complete echo of those leisurely days and a testament to why Agatha Christie described it as the ‘loveliest place in the world – it quite takes my breath away.’</p>

<p>Montacute is one of the loveliest of English houses. The honey-colored, Ham Hill stone of its two faultless façades glows in the morning and afternoon sun. It is satisfyingly large but not overwhelmingly grand; its rooms seem dignified but comfortable at the same time. Like every old house, Montacute has been altered over the years, but these changes seem only to make it more human. When Montacute came to the National Trust in 1931, it was empty and unloved. But over the past century, thanks to a series of generous gifts and a pioneering partnership with the National Portrait Gallery, the house has come back to life, so that today it is many people’s favorite. Providing the perfect setting for the house is the garden, which is a rare surviving example of Elizabethan design.</p>
