Palladian Villa built in 1984-86 for Sebastian de Ferranti by Quinlan Terry after a painting by Felix Kelly (1914-94).
Henbury Hall is based on Andrea Palladio’s famous Villa Rotonda of the 1560s near Vicenza in north-east Italy, familiar to English eyes through the variants it inspired in the 18th century at Mereworth, the Temple of the Four Winds at Castle Howard, Chiswick Villa, Nuthall Temple and Foot’s Cray Place.
Built in 1984-6, Bicknell’s Henbury Hall is close to Kelly’s painting but is not a literal copy. The porticos have four columns rather than the six of the Villa Rotonda, giving an attractive miniaturistic scale.
