A little further afield boarding is available at Brentwood School, Felsted and Bishop’s Stortford College The original Debden Hall dated back to 1715 and consisted of a very large manor house and an extensive range of outbuildings. Henry Holland designed substantial alterations to this Hall and it is believed that Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown designed the gardens and grounds.

The second phase of Debden Hall was the demolition of the main building following a fire in 1929 and a new hall erected in 1936. This hall was not as grand as the original, but was still a very substantial building. The third phase was the demolition of Debden Hall following a major fire in 1936. 10 houses were later erected in the early 1960’s which now forms Ripley Grange under application 383/61. Phase four consists of the re-creation of a new Debden Hall and betterment schemes for the surrounding area. This will leave a legacy for Debden and the surrounding area for future generations. The site is a substantial irregular shaped piece of land with a wide frontage along ’s Lane. The area shown within the yellow boundary extends to about 3.4 acres and has been given to Epping Forest Countrycare for it to be made public land. The remainder measures approximately 7 acres. The main gates to Debden Hall were Grade II listed on the 29th May 1984. The Official listing states “Gateway, C19, formerly to Debden Hall (demolished). The gates and piers are in a poor state of repair. Within the land are a number of historic and interesting features. These include: • Waterfall. This has eroded over time and sections are still in location. • Kitchen Garden. This is now fully overgrown by mature trees. Such trees play an important part of the landscape for the new Debden Hall. • Tree Lined Historic Driveway. Such an iconic driveway, the trees need to be managed by retaining the most significant and healthy, whilst removing those which are causing damage to others. The new hall will appear grand in stature and set within the grounds of Debden Hall will leave a legacy for years to come. It is highly likely, the gardens to Debden Hall were designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. It is proposed to use about an acre of the grounds for domestic amenity space. This area is shown on the submitted drawings to the rear of the proposed new Hall. The proposed domestic garden area is in proportion with the Hall and retains the natural aesthetics of the very large remainder of the grounds which is to be left forested. Significant woodland encompasses the grounds and this is to be maintained. FIRST FLOOR GROUND FLOOR
