Joldwynds is a modernist style house in Holmbury St Mary, Surrey, England, designed by architect Oliver Hill for Wilfred Greene, 1st Baron Greene. Completed in 1932,〔Powers (2005), pp. 138–139.〕 it is a Grade II listed building. It replaced an 1874 Arts and Crafts style house designed by Philip Webb, which itself replaced an earlier house of that name. Greene also had an additional house, The Wilderness, built in the grounds of Joldwynds, to a design by the modernist architectural partnership Tecton. This house, completed in 1939, is also Grade II listed. ==Arts and Crafts style house== The original house called Joldwynds was acquired by surgeon and anatomist William Bowman,〔Dibble (2002), pp. 84–86.〕 later Baronet of Holmbury St Mary, following the death in 1870 of its owner, Henry Champion Wetton.〔 In the same year, Bowman commissioned Philip Webb to design a replacement house in Arts and Crafts style, which was completed in 1874. It was square, with three gables on each of the four sides, plus a wing extending diagonally from one corner, containing a laboratory and a billiards room. The centre of the house was occupied by a three-storey, octagonal living hall, surrounded by round arches at ground level and an arcade on the next floor, and topped by a roof lantern. A stair turret and a barrel-vaulted library were added in 1893.〔Kirk (2005), pp. 114–117.〕 The house became an influential example to other Arts and Crafts architects of the Victorian era.〔Stamp (2010), pp. 184–185.〕 This house was demolished in 1930 by barrister Wilfred Greene,〔 later Baron Greene of Holmbury St Mary in the County of Surrey. Only its outbuildings remain, a stable block and a pavilion. These are both Grade II listed buildings, designed by Webb. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joldwynds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
