A Rare Country Home
Munstead Wood is a house and garden in Godalming, Surrey, England. The garden, created by Gertrude Jekyll (1843-1932), became widely known through her books and articles. The Arts and Crafts-style house, in which she lived from 1897 to 1932, was designed by the noted architect Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944) to complement the garden.

On Sunday at noon, the Madoo Conservancy in Sagaponack will host "Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll at Munstead Wood," a conversation on the intersection of the site's landscape and architecture, between Candia Lutyens, Edwin's granddaughter, and Judith Prause, who are board members of the Lutyens Trust America. Alejandro Saralegui, Madoo's director, will moderate.

Both the house and garden are Grade I listed in Great Britain, a designation of exceptional national, architectural, or historical importance that it shares with such sites as the Tower Bridge and Buckingham Palace.

Tickets are $35. A reception will follow the talk.
