? The Little Ranelagh House by Peter Hill Jones modern 366cm.; 144ins high by 225cm.; 88½ins deep by 303cm.; 119ins wide, together with chestnut picket fence, laid hedges entwined with hawthorn, guelder rose, hazel and field maple together with a miniature wooden seat and carved stone birdbath Quotations can be obtained for reconstructing the Little Ranelagh House and gardens in the UK Little Ranelagh House was so named because in it`s prime incarnation in May this year, it appeared within Ranelagh Gardens which forms part of the site that comprise the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. The building which is also considered to be a `Sculpted Casket for Diverse Purpose` by its creator, Peter Hill Jones, was exhibited as a Trade Stand and was complete "with an interior specifically designed to be hostile to children yet with an exterior that was appealing to them! The garden was designed to be appealing to passerine birds in particular and bryologists!" (Bryology is the study of mosses, liverworts and hornworts) "The building does not have an age or purpose bias", says Peter. "But there are 2 distinct entrances: the front door which is clearly for people under 30" in height and a `secret` side door which could accommodate a tall person or even a wheel chair bound adult. "In short it can be used for whatever you like: to keep the dogs, pigs, chickens or donkey in. As a hide, study - particularly for natural history, dark room, explosives factory or drug manufacturing unit! A wendy house - whatever that is - or an area for children to attempt to fulfil themselves or not, or just address the problems encountered from being a child! A den for adults to keep children out? A private cinema to watch dubious films or library to collect operatic scores or decent First Editions. A space to encourage bats to go when the Planning Authority has deemed the bat roost in your loft is going to really Muck Up your Application to demolish all/some/a bit of your house!"! The building/casket is designed to have an upstairs which is present in a basic form here in The Walled Garden. The building itself is constructed entirely from FSC accredited timber which means that it all comes from sustainable forests. The original building, Little Burndell House, which is the prototype of this one, is situated at Peter`s yard in Yapton, West Sussex and is largely constructed from recycled timber. The window design was extensively researched (despite it`s apparent simplicity) to achieve the `correct look` and designed by Peter and features a design of glazing bar based on the so-called Georgian `knife-edge` glazing bar. The undersized `Sussex Red` roof tiles and half round ridges were hand made as were the clay chimney stack and its 2 undersized pots (one of which is in fact a bird nesting box and other could function as a real pot). The `mortar` on the stack is specially coloured to mimic lime mortar. Such detail was of major importance to Peter! An important feature present are the two `Teddy windows` at either end of the the buildings upstairs area. The term is self explanatory (if you possess a pair of psycho-killer teds as Peter does: Teddy Binns and Hopscotch). Every quarter has a look out point and the house is equipped with three above ground `escape` points and the facilities for an underground tunnel. The `wall paper` at the opposite end to the `secret/adult` door comprises an original motif by Peter. The pattern consists of 4 squares with a central square - like the side depicting `5` on a dice. The 4 outer squares depict a man looking at his dog: the dog has the man`s eyes and the man`s eyes are dentures! The central motif depicts one of Michelangelo`s sculptural male heads but with inserts into the face of Walker`s `Special Edition Spice Girls` crisp packets! Peter`s stand and garden of Little Ranelagh House won an Award of Commendation at the RHS show and over 6,000 people viewed it including Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall. (John Savings of Abingdon, who provided Peter with the plants for his laid hedge is Prince Charles` teacher in the methods of laying a hedge. The Prince is an enthusiast of this ancient country craft. Peter Hill Jones who has exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art Summer Exhibition twice and the Royal Society of British Artists some 4 times is a scrap metal merchant and general dealer by trade and botanist, free-lance journalist and occasional-artist by inclination! He was - he admits - born with an EPNS spoon in his mouth and was slightly over educated "on the proceeds of scrap" he is also on show in London 24 hours a day 365 days of the year as `Peas` one of the 120 sculpted motifs on the gates at The Globe Theatre.
