NOTES: Originally built in 1655, Witley Court was remodelled by John Nash in c. 1806. It was remodelled again in Italianate style in 1854-1860 for the first Earl of Dudley by Samuel Daukes. The terraces and the gardens were laid out by William Andrew Nesfield at the same time. The house was devastated by fire in 1937 after which it was stripped and abandoned until taken into the care of English Heritage in 1984.

RIBA84172
Nash, John (1752-1835)
NOTES: Originally built in 1655, Witley Court was remodelled by John Nash c. 1806. It is shown in this print during the time Queen Adelaide (the widow of King William IV) rented Witley Court for three years from 1843. This print is probably based on a drawing made by John Wood to illustrate an article in the 'Illustrated London News' published on the occasion of her stay there. See RIBA21052 for a drawing on which this print was probably based.
