Wall Hall
History
The house, which was built in the gothic style for George Woodford Thelluson, a wealthy banker, was completed in 1802.[1] It was then acquired by Admiral Sir Charles Pole, 1st Baronet in 1812.[2] The house passed to William Stuart, Pole's son-in-law, and then remained in the Stuart family until 1910 when it became the property of the banker J. P. Morgan, Jr..[3]
After use during the Second World War as a home for Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., the United States ambassador, the house became a teacher training college.[1] It was later used as a residence by the University of Hertfordshire until 2003[4] after which it was re-developed into luxury flats.[5]
