Boreham House

In 1812, Thomas Hooper, a well-known architect in his time, added the grand carriage entrances to the left and right of the main building.

Boreham House stayed in the Hoare family until 1785, when William Walford bought it and rented it to Sir Elija Impey a British judge until 1792.

He died in 1877 leaving Boreham House in tail to his grandson Lieutenant Colonel Tufnell Tyrell, sheriff of Essex.

He bought Boreham House on 2 May 1931 to show that British agriculture could prosper and make people lives easier.

In 1937, the house, with a parcel of the land, was donated to trustees of the Henry Ford Institute of Agricultural Engineering.

Boreham House started to be a college in 1952, when it became the main training centre for the Ford Tractor Operation in Europe.
