Local area
An estate called Whitewebbs farm was bought by Dr. Abraham Wilkinson, in the early 19th. He built the core of the existing house in 1791, which became known as Wilkinson’s Woods. It was later enlarged by Charles Stuart Robertson for Henry Cox Wilkinson as a dressed up French Chateau. It was bought by Lady Meux in in 1904 and Frederick Orr Lewis in 1911. By then it stood in 40 acres, had 40 rooms and its own electric generator. In the 1930s it was used as a Middlesex County Council old people’s home for 70 old men. They had a bowling green in the grounds and could look at the Middlesex County Council Golf Course, next door ‘giving them an attractive outlook’.
