Holwood House

It was built for John Ward, who later employed Burton to lay out his Calverley Park Estate in Tunbridge Wells.

[1] Holwood House is on the site of an earlier building owned by William Pitt the Younger, and the grounds contain the remains of an Iron Age fort known as a "Caesar's Camp", which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

The house was described in Thomas Wilson in his Accurate Description of Bromley in Kent of 1797 as "a small, neat, white building; it is more simple than elegant, and built on a rising ground, which commands one of the most fertile, variegated, and extensive inland prospects in the whole county".

Wilson added "A stranger visiting this house, to view the country mansion of the prime minister of Great Britain, would be exceedingly surprised, to find it so insignificant in size and external appearance".

The work was carried out by the Forestry Section of Kent County Council's Estates Department in collaboration with the Anti-Slavery Society of Denison University in Ohio.
