General:
Luggershill was visited during the Garden Club of America's June 1929 tour to England. A complete copy of the GCA tour itinerary was printed in the Bulletin of the Garden Club of America (Fourth Series, No. 5), September 1929, pp. 6-25. The visit there took place late in the day on June 13, and the long shadows in the image appear to reflect that. It is also possible that the image depicts part of the gardens at the Lygon Arms in Broadway, where the tour spent the night of June 13, having tea and dinner there before visiting Luggershill.
