Watlington House is a 17th-century building, with a large walled garden, in the town of Reading in the English county of Berkshire.

He fought at the Battle of Corunna in the Peninsular War with the 4th Regiment of Foot and trained the Berkshire Militia in Orts meadow near his home.

Before this work was done in the west of the garden, next to the Grade II walls, some Air Raid shelters were removed and Thames Water excavated to establish effluent balancing tanks to service the growing local community.

In May 2020 Trustees agreed to improve the presence of the building as it faces Watlington Street by erecting a perimeter wall and railings and a central gate.

The opening ceremony for the new gate and walls was undertaken on 8 November 2021 by the High Sheriff of Berkshire (Willie Hartley Russell MVO DL) and the Mayor of Reading (Cllr David Stevens).

In January 2021 the Garden Hall started to be used for the Coronavirus Vaccination Programme by 2 Primary Care Networks (Reading Central and Whitley).
