HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT
Edward Hudson bought a walled orchard in Sonning in the 1890s, employing Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944) to provide a survey and plan, dated June 1899, for the proposed house and garden. The Deanery Garden house and garden were finished by 1901. In 1907 Hudson sold the property, it being sold again in 1929, subsequently changing hands several times and remaining in private ownership (1998).
