plans to several City Councils, including Gardens for Cardiff, Hull and Peace Gardens at Temple Newsam in Leeds. None of the plans were ever taken up. Nineteen forty-seven saw the Chelsea Flower Show restart. Hancock returned with a rock garden and a formal garden, he also had an exhibit in the garden designers section. It was at one of these post-war Chelsea shows that Sir David Evans Bevans, a Director at Barclays Bank commissioned Ralph and Bramley to build the gardens at Twyn-yr-Hydd. Hancock had also purchased a little cottage at Chailey Green, near Lewes, Sussex. He had planned to restore the cottage and had drawn up plans to do so. Ralph died before work started and it was left to Bramley to complete the restoration. The gardens at Twyn-yr-Hydd were the last designed by Hancock before his death of a heart attack on 30 August 1950. Books by this author When I Make a Garden, 1935, Reprinted 1950.
