Woodhall Park, English country house in Watton-at-Stone, United Kingdom
The Grade I listed Woodhall Park stands within landscaped grounds featuring walled gardens, woodland areas, and a river view in Hertfordshire.
Thomas Leverton designed this Palladian mansion in the 1770s for Sir Thomas Rumbold, who accumulated wealth during his time as Governor of Madras.
The central staircase hallway displays intricate decorative elements that distinguish Leverton's architectural approach from other eighteenth-century designers.
Heath Mount School has operated within Woodhall Park since the 1930s, utilizing the historic building and grounds for educational purposes.
Joseph Paxton, who later designed the Crystal Palace, started his career as an apprentice gardener at Woodhall Park in the early nineteenth century.
