Early life

Moggridge was born in London and is the son of Lt-Col Harry Weston Moggridge CMG. [3]

Moggridge trained as an architect, but over time, became primarily a landscape architect. [4]

Career

Youlbury House, near Boars Hill, Oxfordshire, designed by landscape architect Hal Moggridge between 1969 and 1971. The residence exemplifies modernist principles adapted to a rural English landscape, with carefully integrated views, terraced gardens, and a sensitivity to the surrounding woodland.

In 1965 Moggridge first met Brenda Colvin, and in 1969, she took him on as a business partner, and the practice became Colvin & Moggridge. [5]

Moggridge designed Youlbury House, built from 1969 to 1971 as a weekend home for the barrister William Goodhart (now Lord Goodhart) and his wife Celia Goodhart, who was Moggridge's sister-in-law. It has been Grade II listed since 2009. [4]

Moggridge received a CBE for services to landscape architecture. [6]

Personal life

In 1962, he married Hon. Catherine Grevile Herbert (born September 1942), the younger daughter of Dennis Herbert, 2nd Baron Hemingford and the younger sister of The 3rd Baron Hemingford. They have a daughter and two sons together. [3]
