Frognal House, Grade II* listed Jacobean mansion in London Borough of Bexley, England.
Frognal House stands within seven acres of landscaped grounds, featuring decorative brickwork, elaborate gables, and a central courtyard layout.
The mansion, constructed before 1550 by the Dyngley family, underwent substantial alterations during the reign of James I when William Watkins replaced stone with brick.
Thomas Townshend, who purchased the property in 1752, established a connection to Australian history as his son became the namesake of Sydney.
The mansion currently operates as a care facility, providing nursing services and specialized care for residents over 65 years of age.
During World War I, the property transformed into Queen's Hospital, specializing in facial and plastic surgeries for wounded soldiers.
