History

The house, which was designed by Thomas Archer in the English Baroque style, was built for John Wallop, 1st Viscount Lymington and completed in 1721.[2] It was briefly used as a residence of the Prince of Wales in the 1720s.[3] After coming into the ownership of William Clayton of Harleyford Manor it was sold to Thomas Williams of Temple around 1790.[4] It served as an overflow for the junior department of the Royal Military College, shortly after the college was established in 1802,[2] and also served as a boarding school in the 1860s but remained in the ownership of the Williams family until well into the 20th century.[3] It went on to serve as a finishing school for girls in the 1950s and is now used as offices.[2]
