Munstead Wood was Gertrude Jekyll's famous house near Godalming in Surrey, although she is probably one of the most famous English garden designers, her love of Lavender amongst her borders is well known.
At the same time as Jekyll, Hidcote Manor became an arts and crafts movement garden, (Jekyll was a founder member), so you have the history of why your Lavender has such names.
French Lavender we call Stoechas, after its scientific name Lavandula stoechas
I enclose a picture from this years Chelsea Flower Show, just to show you some Lavenders, to tempt ypu with!
Kind Regards from England.
