It is between the Thames and the higher part of Richmond Park, which shelters it from the east. This mansion in 1721, being then the property of the Earl of Rochester, was entirely destroyed by fire, the damage being computed at between £40,000 and £50,000, and including the destruction of the library of the famous Earl of Clarendon, grandfather of the Earl of Rochester. It was rebuilt by William, Earl of Harrington, created in 1742 Viscount Petersham, after a design of the Earl of Burlington. Later it was sold to Lord Huntingtower, heir apparent of the Earl of Dysart, who predeceased his father in 1833. In 1834 it was sold by the executors of Lord Huntingtower to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, by whom it was entirely destroyed and its grounds incorporated with the park. A different Crown property is now known as Petersham Lodge.Please explore my ebay shop for more antique prints. Track Page Views With Auctiva's FREE Counter
