Penn Street - Flint House (Buckinghamshire) |
An excellent example of a Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) stands in the front garden of Flint House. The house was originally a vicarage, built in 1849 by Benjamin Ferrey (1810 - 1880), who studied as a pupil of Augustus Pugin, the well-known Gothic revival architect. The Holy Trinity church opposite, and the nearby school were built at same time as the house. |
