Wyndcliffe Court Sculpture Gardens

Elegance and Form

The History of Wyndcliffe Court

Wyndcliffe Court in St. Arvans, Monmouthshire is a Grade II listed country house and gardens in the Arts and Crafts style. Commissioned in 1910 for the Clay family, the house was designed by Eric Francis and the gardens by Henry Avray Tipping. Significant local landowners, the Clays were then living at Piercefield House near Chepstow. Work on Wyndcliffe Court paused for a while during the First World War and the house wasn’t completed until 1922.

Francis and Tipping were used to collaborating, for Francis was the architect of two of Tipping’s own houses. Their familiarity is evident at Wyndcliffe, where house and garden sit happily together.

The garden, with its toppling yew topiary, sun-warmed stone walls, formal terracing, lily ponds and bowling-green lawn, bears all the hallmarks of Tipping’s designs.

It is a much larger garden than Tipping’s own at High Glanau, but it has the same generous proportions and comfortable, domestic feel.

The house stands above a broad southfacing terrace, where capsizing mounds of clipped yew sit among stone-edged flowerbeds. The interface between the smooth grass of the bowling green below the terrace gives way to shady paths through the woods, creating exactly the contrast between cultivation and natural landscape that Tipping loved.

From the west end of the terrace is the sunken garden, a sun trap with sides cut into shallow terraces and an elegant, stone lily pond at its center. A summerhouse stands on the south-west corner of the sunken garden, overlooking it, a walled vegetable and cutting garden and a view through the shelterbelt to the south. Later in date than many Arts and Crafts Houses, the house is also significantly larger.

Although the interior of the house is not open to the public, it remains almost unaltered in the intervening years. The oak-panelled, wood-floored ballroom, with intricate rose sculpted ceiling is a real statement room. Dating back to the early part of the twentieth century, the ballroom still boasts all of its original features, including 2 open fireplaces, 3 arched panelled doors one of which leads out onto the terrace and gardens - and a serving hatch leading onto the hallway.

Wyndcliffe Court Gardens are 5 minutes from Chepstow and Tintern Abbey, nestled in the hills above the Wye Valley to the north of the village of St. Arvans. Situated on a high bluff, the house and gardens offer views over the Severn, the coastal plain and the Bristol Channel, and are only 500 metres from part of the Wye Valley walk. Its fine presence and stunning views are complemented by the beautiful formal gardens. Wyndcliffe Court is featured in the Top 100 Attractions Wales edition, The Finest Gardens in Wales, as well as featured in the Telegraphs top 10 sculpture gardens in Wales.

“What a masterclass its few acres oer to anyone creating any garden at all. The more you walk and wander and turn and look again, the better it gets.â€? Stephen

Anderton, Discovering Welsh Gardens, 2009.

The Designer

Henry Avray Tipping, 1855-1933, was a French-born British writer on country houses and gardens, and a garden designer. A friend of Gertrude Jekyll, Tipping was editor of Country Life magazine for many years and became recognised as one of the leading authorities on the history, architecture, furnishings and gardens of country houses in Britain.

He wrote over 700 articles for Country Life. His garden design works include the walled garden at Chequers - the prime minister’s country retreat - and several in his adopted county of Monmouthshire. These include Mathern Palace near Chepstow, his home from 1894 to 1912; Mounton House, also near Chepstow, which he commissioned in 1912; High Glanau Manor, near Monmouth, built in 1922 and his home towards the end of his life; and Wyndcliffe Court. His gardens are characterised by divided compartments with sculpted yew hedging, topiary birds and animals, long grass bowling greens, lush planting and wild areas.

The Present

The last owners of Wyndcliffe Court to have lived here were a popular couple who enjoyed being a part of the community and also opening their home and gardens to visitors.

Betty and Patrick Clay lived here for many decades, and are well remembered in the local area. The property is currently held in the family trust.

Christine Baxter and Alex Brown took over the running of Wyndcliffe Court in early 2013. Both artists and entrepreneurs, they were looking for a beautiful setting in which to display Christine’s sculptures and were inspired by the recent trend of displaying outdoor sculptures in a garden setting rather than in rows in a garden centre or in an art gallery. They also have plenty of experience of exhibiting across the UK and Alex could see the potential in bringing sculptors together to create exhibitions in gardens that were well worth visiting in their own right. Organising their first shows which launched in May 2013 they brought together sculptors from all over the country, meticulously selecting and installing pieces throughout the gardens whilst carrying out a series of restoration projects to the neglected gardens.

“Garden sculptures never look as good displayed out of context, and lots of people love visiting

country gardens, so a sculpture garden is the perfect way to show off outdoor work. The gardens at Wyndcliffe Court are a national treasure and we have enjoyed researching them as well as finding the perfect spots for the sculptures we’re exhibiting. We believe that the gardens are too wonderful not to share with the public and we are proud to be opening them up once again.” Alex Brown

The Garden Restoration

Since 2013 the gardens at Wyndcliffe Court have undergone extensive and continued restoration. Our fantastic gardener Ken Brooking has been working hard to maintain the Spring garden in preparation for Summer. The topiaries are hand cut each year, and this season we are looking forward to the rose gardens second year, as well as seeing the development of the gardens through the seasons! The garden is looking the best it has in years, with plenty more work to follow!

The Walled Kitchen Garden

One of the garden’s main features - aside from its magnificent topiary and breathtaking views - is the original walled kitchen garden. Enclosed with stone walls and ornate iron gates, the kitchen garden was once at the heart of the home. It has been restored back to working order over the past three years, and is now managed by Kari and Micheal who have done a splendid job of nurturing the vegetable patches.

The walled kitchen garden houses a variety of original fruit trees which bore an abundance of apples, plums and pears last year. (You can find Wyndcliffe plums in the jam, and apples in the spiced apple cakes, and the homemade chutney served in the tea room café!) To add to the garden’s fruit crop, the new large vegetable and salad beds have been providing us with wheelbarrows of fresh produce to cook in the cafe, and sell to visitors.

This year we will see our first potato harvest, and a variety of beans, salad leaves, root vegetables and peas will be grown.

The kitchen garden is once again a functioning asset to the house, providing the café with fresh salad, vegetables and fruit throughout the year. Last years Lime and Courgette Cake was particularly popular, and we are looking forward to introducing a new selection of soups - as the vegetables become ready to pick!

The Pond System

Wyndcliffe Court was originally built with a series of interconnecting ponds and waterways in a continuous flow, fed from a natural spring behind the house. Over time the traditional system has disintegrated, pipes have rusted and pools have been filled with debris.

Work started last year to reconnect and rejuvenate this ancient water system, whilst carefully preserving the wonderful array of pond and wildlife. The linking ponds start on the top terrace and run throughout the entire gardens. It is thought there are another 6 connected pools to discover, ending in a large overspill at the bottom of the garden.

The Greenhouses

The walled kitchen garden is home to impressive original 1920’s greenhouses which run along the northern wall. These have, over the years, fallen into a state of disrepair. Whilst the majority of the original glass is still intact, the wooden frames are rotting and disintegrating. The glass has been removed in the most damaged areas and stored in the hope of being restored one day - a mammoth and expensive task as the buildings are Grade II listed. Unfortunately the greenhouses are out of bounds to visitors until they are secured or restored - but can be admired from the outside and will in hopefully sometime in the future be used again to nurture seedlings. The first green house would have been warmed by the coal fire shed behind the wall, and the second is heated by pipes from the first!

Gallery at Wyndcliffe Court

Wyndcliffe Courts gallery opens this Spring, showcasing a curated show of paintings by Alex Brown and Bronze Resin sculpture by Christine Baxter

The gallery space boasts original fire place, large windows giving plenty of natural light, crystal chandeliers, and cosy retro seating in front of a warming wood burner which is used on wet cold days.

The exhibition of paintings is a collection of work by accomplished artist Alex Brown; featuring a selection of his most prominent work, from still lives and landscapes to abstracts; in a variety of medias including oils, water colours and acrylics.

Christine Baxter’s sculptures are also on display, and showcase her new body of bronze resin work. All artwork in the gallery is for sale.

French holiday home rental

"Briance", Rue des Mellons, Astaillac is on the site of a medieval monastery and although mostly built in the early 19th Century there is a lot of ecclesiastical stonework incorporated in its construction, including a huge fireplace with the symbol of the sacred heart carved into its stonework. It has wonderful views out over the Dordogne river valley and the Chateau de Castelnau de Bretenoux.

The house is situated in a small village in the South of France, quiet but only 4Km from the busy Abbey town of Beaulieu sur Dordogne.

There is ample patio and garden space in which to relax either in the hammock or loungers under the large parasols set about the grounds. There are spectacular views off the terrace and space for outside dining.

All the rooms are furnished and decorated in a traditional French farmhouse style, but with all modern conveniences.

All rooms have both French and UK plug adaptors, extra pillows and covers, an ensuite bathroom with towels, soap and shampoo. We have 3 twin bedrooms and one double bedroom, accommodating a mixed party of between 6 and 10.

Spring 2016 Elegance and Form Show

Willa Ashworth

Living and working in the Somerset countryside gives me endless inspiration, my love of gardening has lead me to create a wide range of designs that combine practical and aesthetic qualities. Plant supports that are functional but also pleasant to the eye. Left to weather naturally to give a more organic appearance that blends beautifully with the planting scheme of any garden.

Changing with the weather and light they will always attract your attention and complement their natural surroundings. www.willaashworth.co.uk

Lynn Baker

Lynn enjoys working in both two and three dimensions and works with both hot and cold glass using its unique optical qualities as a means of expression and communication. Her work revolves around the underlying themes of ‘movement and change’ Lynn’s glass daisies make a bold statement in any garden along with an element of fun. They glisten with droplets of rain after a passing shower and remind us how important water is both to us and the survival of our planet. www.lynnbakerglass.co.uk

Christine Baxter

Christine sculpts in clay or wax to make beautiful figures based on the human figure or animal forms. She then casts them either into cast stone, bronze resin or bronze. Her figurative work is always directly from observation. “I love natural forms, really looking and understanding the structure, the volume, the weight and balance, gives you the tools to play with body language that communicates with the viewer. when making a new sculpture.’

Christine works directly from observation, and then works with the poetry and grace of the pose and subject. www.artstonesculpture.com

Alex Brown

Inspired by his abstract paintings, Alex makes these flowers from enamel and steel. Each one is unique and created by the use of fluid dynamics to replicate natural forces. They are weather proof. The are half like a flower and half like an abstract painting.

Jenny Cole

Jenny is an artist and blacksmith who makes individual handmade pieces for the home and garden. Inspired by the beauty of the outdoors Jenny makes furniture with a sculptural quality, designed to add an individual statement to a home or garden. Jenny began working with metal in 2003 and is one of only a handful of women who has a degree in Artist Blacksmithing. Her recent work includes Chrysanthemum flowers, which can be used as candle holders or bird feeders and are made in three different sizes. www.jennycole.co.uk

Paul Cox

My work is born from the bonding of internal and external experiences and the conclusion of a piece is the point at which it exists by itself with me being the link in a process of creation.

I really enjoy creating objects that enhance the natural beauty of the garden, many of them are huge. These large sculptures can take many weeks of labour to design and build. So it is very liberating to have developed smaller works that have enabled anyone the ability to own. I believe that we all should be able to own beautiful handmade items made here in the UK . Based in Sussex, I am an award winning sculptor who exhibits internationally. I was awarded the Henry Moore scholarship and sponsored

by Time Out magazine to study MA sculpture at the Royal Academy Schools, London. www.paul-cox.co.uk

Dominic Clare

Dominic Clare was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 1963. He followed a degree course in Fine Art at Leeds Polytechnic, and from 1982 to 1983 was an assistant to the sculptor David Nash. He spent four years at the Bristol Sculpture Shed before moving to live and work in North Wales for the past 24 years. He has now relocated to rural Wiltshire. www.dominicclare.co.uk

Sarah D’Arcy

I've been making ceramics all my working life, since my apprenticeship in the mid 1970s. I was an apprentice with Adam Dvorski for six months at the Clyro Pottery just outside Hay-on-Wye. Having learnt the craft and thrown domestic ware I then started making humorous hippo's elephants, cows and much more on my own account.I started to produce more simplified pieces for the garden; hares, geese, sheep, hens etc. I use Crank mixture, a coarse clay, for the majority of my work. This mixture gives my work it's tactile nature. The hollow figures are hand-formed using coils with solid additions, coloured oxides are painted on then brushed with water to accentuate certain areas. The finished piece at the dry stage is then fired in an electric kiln to approximately 1260°C. www.sarahdarcyceramics.co.uk

Anna French

Anna began her career in the theatre as a costume maker then a mid-life crisis drew her to study contemporary decorative craft at De Montfort University. For 15 years she has worked as a kiln- formed glass artist and has developed a striking signature style of richly coloured and textured glassware. She is influenced by floras and landscape and particularly enjoys expressing the colours of North Africa. When not working in her Nottingham studio Anna can be spotted in the souks of Marrakech! www.fizgig.co.uk

Coach Turning Circle

Disabled and Residents’

Katie Green

She is an established and well respected Worcestershire Artist of more than 15 years who specialises in two dimensional Contemporary Glass Mosaic Sculptures. Each year her works continue to evolve, as new pieces are created.

Her work encompasses mosaic in the widest possible sense with colour in a very distinctive diverse style, reflecting many moods with texture, patterns and light. She aims to create a piece of Art that becomes part of the environment in which it is placed. www.ktgreenmosaics.com

Renee Kilburn

I grew up on the coast outside Gothernsburg, my use of colour and decorative technique is inspired by the Swedish coast. After ceramic design at Central Saint Martin's in London and securing a valuable placement with Kate Malone, I moved into mould and model making for designers in the industry. After 10 years I have rekindled my passion for clay, creating visual, expressive and pleasingly tangible oozing shapes and forms. I hand mix coloured glazes which melt together during the firing process to create my signature finish. www.reneekilburn.com

Daren Greenhow

Daren usually works in steel, often using bicycle parts. He also works with other materials, such as polymers, if appropriate. Daren enjoys the challenge of taking everyday objects and reinterpreting them in new and unexpected contexts, elements which are expressed strongly in his metal sculptures. He says: “I individually hand make my own designs. These are completely original, unique and immediately recognisable as my work." www.darengreenhow.com

MissFire

Clare Robertson works under the creative name of 'MissFire', also the name of her company established in 2008. Inspiration is most often found in the beauty of the natural world.

Currently based at The Blacksmith's Shop in an ancient iron mine, MissFire has great respect for the history surrounding blacksmithing but believes the future of the craft lies within finding new ways to produce work, embracing new technology and offering clients quality and originality at a reasonable price. www.missfire.co.uk

Angela Palmer

Since childhood I have loved making things with my hands and doing all kinds of art, but have had no formal art training. My early career was in Biology before my children came along, and it wasn’t until the 1980’s that I discovered clay modelling and started to make sculptures from life. Over the years I have drawn much inspiration from the great sculptors of the past especially Rodin, Degas, Marini and the portrait busts of Epstein. For the past 25 years I have been running Life Classes in the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean. www.angelapalmerart.com

Simon Probyn

After work & in my spare time I started making figurative pieces using found materials, mostly for close family birthday & Christmas presents. A friend asked if I would put a life size Billy Goat in an exhibition at Gloucester Cathedral; it was well received & from that I started getting commissions.

I started putting my work in local exhibitions & sold enough to build & fully kit out my workshop. In 2013 I had enough ongoing work to make Sculpture my full time employment. I take my ideas from childhood, the countryside & everyday life; sometimes the materials themselves give me a concept. Recently I have done abstract work using large industrial architectural steels. I get a lot of pleasure from people's reaction to my work. www.simonprobyn.co.uk

Kate Sell

Self taught in the art of mosaic, Kate Sell specialises in producing individually commissioned handmade mosaic mirrors & that enhance the design and beauty of your home & garden, each mirror reflecting the changes of the seasons making your mirror come alive with movement and colour. Kate’s commissions have incorporated floral & abstract designs using opaque stained glass and recycled mirror. www.gardenreflections.co.uk

Stuart Stockwell

Born in Cheltenham in 1966, Stuart has spent the last 20 years working self-employed in the electronic industry but decided to have a change in direction.

Stuart has now got a small workshop working with metal he makes every piece by hand either by drawing freehand or designing and working from a template.

He has always been interested in art and is holding his first exhibition this year. www.silverfoliage.co.uk

Jeannette Therrien

I founded The Clay and Glass Studio, at Wagon Yard, London Rd, Marlborough, shortly after completing the Ceramics with Glass BA Course at High Wycombe in 1998. My passion is to create unique and individual glass art and I have been described as “a glass designer and maker of distinctive kiln-formed and stained glass, creating stunning glass forms that are both functional and decorative�. I use a variety of glass making techniques: hot glass, kiln-formed glass, stained glass, and all the methods used in glass making. www.jeannettetherrien.com

Philip Thompson

Philip gains his inspiration from observing our natural environment as well as the intricate layers of humanity. He works with stainless steel for its reflective and contemporary qualities and bronze for its patination effects. He creates contemporary public sculptures, for both interior and exterior, garden sculptures that are inspired by nature. www.philipthompsonsculptures.com
