Brief history of site

The Penheale estate has medieval origins, and was further developed in the 17th century. In the late-18th century the house was divided into three separate dwellings, and in the early-19th century fell into a near-derelict state. It was sold to Captain Norman Colville in 1920. He commissioned Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll to undertake the design of much of the garden, while designing other parts himself.
