Digswell: Digswell House
This Grade II Listed Building has had a varied history. It was built between 1805 and 1807 as a country residence for Lord Cowper to the designs of Samuel Wyatt. It then changed hands and functions several times including being a World War I hospital for wounded Australian soldiers and then being the residence of Sir Ebenezer Howard, the designer of the nearby Welwyn Garden City. After the Second World War it was variously a retreat, a school boarding house and, from about 1957 to 1985, the home of the Digswell Arts Trust. Since then it has been sold off into multiple private residences.
Sadly the four ionic column entrance is now not readily visible from the public highway being concealed behind the high hedge, but there is a photograph currently available elsewhere on the internet showing the entrance around 1905. This is the view of the main house and the west wing. There is a similar east wing off out of picture to the left. The house is on Monks Rise.
