  • Morden Park.Pdf
    Morden Park Roman Morden The Roman road between London and Chichester passed through Morden Park. It was known as Stane Street and can be traced from the Lord Nelson at the bottom of Stonecot Hill, through Morden Park to the Civic Centre and beyond. Located about 350m northwest of the course of Stane Street lies what is now known as the Morden Park Mound. This has not been extensively excavated but its size and shape is characteristic of a Roman barrow, or burial site. Morden Park House: Georgian Beginnings Morden Park was formerly a deer park within the Morden Hall estate, originally owned by Westminster Abbey. In 1768, Richard Garth, in partnership with the London merchant and distiller John Ewart, procured a private act of Parliament permitting the creation of the Morden Park estate. The double-fronted brown-brick house was built in 1770 as a retreat for the Ewart family, who remained here until 1788. Morden Park House: Continued Morden Park passed through many different owners. From the late 1780s the estate was in the hands of the Polhill family and between the 1880s and the 1910s, the house was occupied by the banker John Wormald. The entire estate was eventually purchased by Gilliat Hatfeild, owner of Morden Hall Park, thus reuniting the two estates. In 1936, Morden Park was purchased from the Hatfeild family by Merton and Morden Urban District Council. Morden Park House: Registry Office During the its later history Morden Park House suffered years of neglect and from 1985 stood vacant for lengthy periods. The Grade II* listed house was eventually restored , thanks to a £1.8 million Heritage Lottery Fund grant.
