Summary
| Description |
English: Holly Village, Highgate, London Holly Village was designed by the architect Henry Astley Darbishire for Baroness Angela Burdett-Coutts, and is made up of eight houses and cottages around a green. It was built by William Cubitt.
The houses are close to the site of Holly Lodge, the Coutts's splendid country villa on Highgate's West Hill. Very expensive materials were used in the construction including teak wood and Portland stone, and Italian craftsmen undertook the carving. Both in the stonework and the woodcarving there are many unusual details including patterned brickwork, crenellations, cornices, dormers, carved faces and small animals, probably specified by Burdett Coutts who founded the RSPCA. The latter designs reflect Burdett-Coutts's love of animals, which led to the founding of the RSPCA. |
