 History of Burwood Park
The other mansion (that at Burhill) in which Elizabeth Wellesley, Duchess of Wellington (1834-1901) had lived, was turned into the present Golf Club House and the mansion in Burwood Park was converted into a girls’ school under a Miss Jean Byrne.
The future Earl of Iveagh is believed to have cherished some idea of living at Burhill himself, but meanwhile leased the property to the seventy year old dowager Duchess of Wellington, the widow of the second Duke, doubtless expecting a short tenancy.
Once established at Burhill, the Duchess of Wellington became the patroness of Hersham.
