Digswell House, Grade II listed mansion in Welwyn Garden City, England.
The mansion features a grand portico with four Ionic columns on its south front, constructed in a neoclassical architectural style.
Samuel Wyatt designed this residence in 1805 for Edward Spencer Cowper, replacing an earlier medieval manor house that stood nearby.
The mansion served as the Number 5 Australian Auxiliary Hospital during World War I, caring for Australian, Belgian, and British soldiers.
The building has been converted into private residential units, maintaining its protected status under Grade II listing regulations.
Between 1928 and 1939, the house functioned as a conference center where Mahatma Gandhi and George Bernard Shaw gathered.
