Courtfield Gardens East
Directions
Further along the Old Brompton Road, turn right up Bolton Gardens, which leads straight into Collingham Road. Turn right at Courfield Gardens to reach Courtfield Gardens East, a deeply sunken garden around St Jude's Church.Description
Private communal gardens provided for residents of the houses that surround it, which were built as part of the Gunter Estate development that took place from the 1840s. The development of the northern part of their estate came a little later, encouraged by construction of the Metropolitan and District Railways and by the new church of St Jude's. Courtfield Gardens (East) was built c.1873 and abuts the church. The garden is unusual in being partly sunken, the lower level apparently the original level of the ground, and the mounds at the edges created from spoil from building the railway.Further information on LGT Inventory
