Historical note:
The nearby Ashridge estate has some
fascinating historical links.
Nearby Ashridge Manor was founded as a
monastery in 1283 by the Earl of Cornwall
with Henry VIII visiting Ashridge to hunt;
reputedly enjoying the area so much that
after the dissolution of the monasteries, the
Manor was appropriated to the crown and
the Privy Council held there.
Elizabeth I later disposed of the property with
the Bridgewater family occupying the house
from around 1604, the most famous of whom
was the third Duke, renown for his canal
building during the Industrial Revolution. The
house then fell into disrepair, however the
seventh Earl of Bridgewater commissioned
James Wyatt to rebuild the present structure
in the Gothic Revival style with later
distinguished visitors including Prime
Ministers William Gladstone and Benjamin
Disraeli. The estate was subsequently
bought by the National Trust and is now a
world famous management college.
