House & Family History: Tigbourne is a red brick and Bargate stone house whose design was inspired by 17th century English vernacular styles.
Comments: The Lutyens Trust has called Tigbourne "...one of Lutyens’s most finely crafted elevations. It’s a tour de force of Bargate stone, galleted with ferrestone (sometimes called ironstone, which is much used in Kent and Surrey churches), with red-tiled string courses uniting the whole elevation."
