Garden at Monk's House, Rodmell

Monk's House is Virginia and Leonard Woolf's 17th-century country retreat from London where they spent about half the year and she wrote much of her work - from 1919 until Leonard's death in 1969. The house was very basic - when they bought it there was no electricity, plumbing or kitchen and yet they moved in before making any upgrades. The garden was the main reason they chose this property.
