Royal Earlswood Park
Originally opened in 1855, and receiving a royal charter from Queen Victoria in 1862, the Royal Earlswood Hospital was an asylum for people with learning difficulties. The first medical superintendent was John Langdon-Down after whom Down's Syndrome was named. It gained notoriety for housing two of the Queen Mother's nieces, Katherine and Nerissa Bowes-Lyon, for almost 50 years, from 1941 to 1986, a fact that was kept quiet, and even denied, by Buckingham Palace, who claimed that they had died. For full history see http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/picrender.fcgi?artid=1291479&blobtype=pdf.
The hospital closed in 1997, and has now been redeveloped for housing, as Royal Earlswood Park. This is the original main building, now named Victoria Court. It is grade II listed - for listing particulars see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1241446.
