Sir Roger Newdigate's House (Former)


Denham, United Kingdom (GB)
Sir Roger Newdigate, 5th Baronet was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1742 and 1780. He was a collector of antiquities.

Newdigate's estate, Harefield Place, dates to the 1600s. It served as the family's private home until the 1930s when it became the Harefield Country Hospital, a maternity hospital. In 1959, it sold a parcel of land, which is now the adjacent Harefield Place Golf Club. The hospital was closed in 1965 and Harefield Place remained vacant until 1981, when it was converted into offices and served as the headquarters of Blockbuster Video until 2014.
