Beech Hill Park

Beech Hill Park is a Grade II listed building off Beech Hill in Hadley Wood, North London, that is used today as the club house of Hadley Wood Golf Course.

It was built in 1781 for Francis Russell, secretary and surveyor to the Duchy of Lancaster, on land he received when Enfield Chase was broken up.

It was occupied by female members of his family after his death in 1797 before being purchased by Archibald Paris in 1800 who took up residence in 1805 and stayed until he moved into a rebuilt West Lodge in 1834.

[2][3][4] From 1835 the house was leased to Sir Edward Barnes and occupied after his death in 1838 by his widow and then by his brother George.

[5] In 1854, Charles Jack (1810–1896), who was primarily responsible for the development of Hadley Wood, acquired the freehold of the property.
