Photos from the PGG visit to Hillersdon House, Devon. Sympathetic to the beautiful, rolling Devon countryside, abundant natural water and the original mid-19th century garden layout of William Grant, the gardens at Hillersdon are an inspiring collection of the natural, formal and contemporary.
After the death of William Grant in 1935 the house was inherited under his will by Sir Mark Beresford Russell Sturgis (1884–1949), KCB, Assistant Under-Secretary for Ireland, who took the additional surname of Grant, as a condition of the will. In the Second World War it housed US Officers and then became a bed and breakfast and later was divided into five flats.
