These jour views are 

 of an English -walled 

 garden, a garden set 

 on a hill exposed to 

 winds that made walls 

 a necessity. The gar- 

 den is on the place of 

 Mr. Thackeray Turner, 

 near Godalming, Surrey

 GARDEN 



(Below) From the seat 

 i>i this sunny recess in 

 the wall one can see 

 through an arch into 

 the garden behind. 

 This arched niche 

 promises a windless 

 spot where one could 

 sit in cold weather 



When the sun be- 

 comes overpower- 

 ing one may retire 

 to a little stone 

 poich that makes a 

 cool oasis in the 

 iidday heat Con- 

 trasted with it's 

 shadowed darkness 

 is the blaze of 

 Shirley poppies 



A gai den architec

 a natuial outflow- 

 of the earth 

 IS the ideal of Mi 

 Turners school of 

 landscaping These 

 o.alls aie of lough- 

 hewn stone fledged
