The station was built by the British to designs by J M Wilson , a Scot who had been an assistant to Lutyens in New Delhi and who subsequently set up a practice of his own in Baghdad .
The Herbert memorial chapel, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, includes a chest tomb with effigy of Aubrey Herbert of Pixton Park, the Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for the Southern division of Somerset from 1911 to 1918, and for Yeovil from 1918 until his death in 1923, by Cecil de Banquiere Howard of Paris under a wooden canopy also designed by Lutyens.
From 1901 Balfour lived at Fisher's Hill House, a large home which he had built by Lutyens in Hook Heath, Woking, Surrey, also living in the rural hamlet by 1911 were Alfred Lyttelton (Lib. U.), Secretary of State for the Colonies (1903-1905) who married into his wider family and the Duke of Sutherland.
From 1917 to 1925 Gass designed the Methodist College at Medak in Andhra Pradesh, south India; which, like Lutyens’ work at New Delhi, is organised in the grand manner around a central axis.
After fighting in the Crimean War, Lutyens (father of Edwin Lutyens) became an artist and one of his paintings, The Kill in the Fog, depicts a scene from his time with the Montreal Hunt.
Lutyens said the design evolved from that of the Pantheon in Rome, while it is also possible that it was modelled partly after the great Stupa at Sanchi.
