West Drayton: The Gatehouse
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 7 Dec 2008
The Gatehouse and some associated walls are all that remains of West Drayton Manor, which was owned by William Paget, an ambassador and courtier of both King Henry VIII and King Edward VI. The manor house itself was demolished around 1750 and the gatehouse has been substantially rebuilt on several occasions. The gatehouse featured prominently on the shield of the coat of arms of the former Yiewsley and West Drayton Urban District Council which was incorporated into the London Borough of Hillingdon in 1965.
