Deanery Gardens fits its environment, the red-brick Thames-side village of Sonning, to perfection. Its designer Edwin Lutyens, perhaps the greatest British architect of the last one hundred years, created buildings that are supremely English in character: a tour of Deanery Gardens emphasizes its traditional aspects and the influences such as the Art and Crafts movement that went into his work. And yet it is also possible to see Lutyens as a classical designer, for his buildings are as logically and consciously planned as they could possibly be - a fact which their appearance of mellowed red-brick, tiles and half-timbering is apt to conceal.
