Estate agency Jackson-Stops has become a corporate benefactor of the Lutyens Trust, the charity dedicated to the work of architect Sir Edwin Lutyens.
Jackson-Stops, which has been selling country houses since 1910, has a network of 40 offices across the UK, including central London, and regularly handles the sale of historic and Listed properties.
The Lutyens Trust, established in 1984, works to protect and promote the legacy of Sir Edwin Lutyens, whose designs include several landmark country houses and public buildings across Britain, as well as gardens created in partnership with Gertrude Jekyll.
Jackson-Stops recently handled the sale of three Lutyens-designed houses in Devon and Surrey, with guide prices ranging from £775,000 to £1.3m.
Charles Hind, chairman of the Lutyens Trust, said: “We are delighted to welcome Jackson-Stops as a corporate benefactor of the trust.
“Jackson-Stops has a well-known track record in advising on historic and architecturally significant houses, and we greatly appreciate their support. The trust is dependent on memberships and donations to enable it to carry out its day-to-day work of protecting Lutyens’ works and deepening public understanding of their importance.”
Nick Leeming, chairman of Jackson-Stops, said: “It is our pleasure to support the important work of the Lutyens Trust.
“Britain’s architectural heritage is one of the nation’s greatest assets and Sir Edwin Lutyens gave us some of our most beautiful country houses and public buildings.
“As advisers to owners and buyers of historic homes, we understand the importance of recognising not only their value as places to live, but also their wider architectural and cultural significance.”

I was having one of those days in Bengaluru where everything that could go wrong did – missed my morning train, got chewed out by my boss, and spilled chai all over my shirt. Stuck on the commute home, I needed something to reset my brain. A colleague had mentioned a mobile casino that actually works on patchy 4G, so I pulled up [link removed] right there on the train. I figured I’d try a few hands of Andar Bahar to take my mind off things, and to my absolute surprise, I won eight out of ten rounds. It completely flipped my mood – I walked through my front door with a smile and a noticeably heavier wallet. Finding a gambling app that runs this smoothly on Indian networks is rare, and the card animations are crisp without being laggy. The betting interface is responsive, and I never felt rushed to place my bets, which made the whole experience genuinely relaxing.
