Danbury Place, Historic mansion in Danbury, England.
The red brick mansion sits on one of the highest points in Essex, featuring Tudor Gothic architectural elements and extensive grounds surrounding the structure.
Sir Walter Mildmay constructed the original Danbury Place in 1589, which was later rebuilt in 1832 by John Round following designs by Thomas Hopper.
The mansion transformed into Danbury Palace in 1845, serving as the episcopal residence for the Bishop of Rochester until 1890.
The property now contains thirteen residential flats following its conversion from a conference center previously operated by Anglia Ruskin University.
During World War II, the mansion operated as a maternity hospital after owner John Tyson Wigan provided the building for medical services.
