St Leonard's Hill

St Leonard's Hill was a large mansion near Clewer in Berkshire.

The house, originally known as Forest Court, was built by Thomas Sandby for Countess Waldegrave in the 1760s.

[2] The house was bought by William Harcourt, 3rd Earl Harcourt in 1781 and, after remaining in the Harcourt family for over a century, it was acquired by Sir Francis Barry, 1st Baronet in 1872.

[1] Barry made substantial alterations in the Châteauesque style and renamed it St Leonard's Hill.

[3] Following the death of Lady Barry in 1924 the house was largely demolished.
