H. Inigo Triggs was born in 1876 and became a landscape gardener, architect and writer. He designed many formal gardens and later undertook the design of country houses, mostly in southern England. He specialised in historical research and recreating gardens from the past. His books influenced the Italian mode of the Arts and Crafts style in England. In 1926 he entered a partnership with the architect William Unsworth.
