Gerrards Cross, with its fine open common and picturesque Latchmore Pond, has been a place of resort ever since the Old Berkeley Hunt began to meet there in the 1790s. This book celebrates the energy of those pioneer architects, builders and estate agents who made Gerrards Cross a high-class residential area, both socially and architecturally.
