Panshanger

Panshanger was a large country house located between the outer edge of Hertford and Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire, England.

Earl Cowper, who later became Lord Chancellor of Great Britain, acquired the Cole Green estate c.

[2] The 5th Earl Cowper commissioned Samuel Wyatt and then William Atkinson to design a new house in a slightly different location in Regency-Gothic style; construction work started on site in 1806.

Although Panshanger House was demolished, the orangery, nursery garden wall, stables, and a number of cottages and estate buildings remain,[7] all of which are listed by English Heritage.

The park consists of wetlands, grasslands and reedbeds which serve as a home for a wide variety of damselfly and dragonfly species.
