HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT

Nashdom was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens for Prince Alexis Dolgorouki and his wife, on a previously undeveloped field surrounded by woodland. The house and surrounding formal garden were built between 1905 and 1909. The site was sold in about 1926 and became the Anglican Benedictine monastery of Nashdom Abbey, until sold again about 1986 and left empty, subsequently being developed into flats (1997).
