Brief history of site

In 1726, Sir Peter Vandeput purchased the manor of Standlynch. In 1731-4, he built a new house called Standlynch House (since the 19th century known as Trafalgar House), to a design by the architect John James of Greenwich. During this period the park was replanned to a design by Charles Bridgeman. After the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, Parliament rewarded Admiral Nelson's nearest surviving relative, his brother William, who duly became the first Earl Nelson, with Standlynch House.
