Introduction

Edward Burgess Hudson (1854–1936) was the founder of Country Life magazine in 1897.

Career

Country Life was an early lifestyle magazine. Edward Hudson was the owner of Lindisfarne Castle (1901-21) and two other Lutyens-designed houses, Deanery Gardens in Sonning (c1899-1907), designed and built 1899–1901, and Plumpton Place, Sussex (1928-36 but not occupied), both featured in the magazine in 1903 and 1933 respectively.

Both these houses have been owned by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, who also owns The Tower House in London.
