History
The house was reputedly designed by Christopher Wren and dates from at least 1707. In 1936 the owner, Gordon Saunders, who at different times also lived at Monkenholt and The Chase, sold land adjacent to the house to the local council who created King George's Field recreation ground. A footpath to the field passes the house on its eastern side. The house is known for the giant cedar trees on the Hadley Common side lawn.Taylor, Pamela, & Joanna Corden.
