Many of the older properties in this vicinity owe their origin to Gertrude Jekyll (generally considered the most influential English garden designer) - or at least to other members of the Jekyll family. According to the Surrey volume of 'The Buildings of England' (Nairn and Pevsner), Munstead House was built for the Jekylls in 1877-78, the architect being one J.J. Stevenson.
