  • Bushy House and the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington
    Local History Notes Bushy House and the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington Bushy House The early history of Bushy House is obscure as there were several lodges in Bushy Park with no particular names. Bushy Park, at the time of Charles I, was divided into three parts – Bushy Park consisted of 350 acres, Middle Park with 370 acres and the Harewarren with 380 acres. Some sources state that Bushy House was built on the site of Upper Lodge, but maps show both houses – Old Lodge and New Lodge in c1680, Upper Lodge and Lower Lodge in c1750. It is possible that the confusion arose because the same person had owned both properties at some time. Upper Lodge was the residence of the Keeper of Bushy Park and Bushy Lodge used for the Keeper of Middle Park and Harewarren. A lodge in Middle Park was first built in 1611 and was possibly rebuilt nine years later. A new Keeper’s Lodge was built within the next twenty years. Edward Proger built Bushy Lodge - near or on the site of the previous lodge - in 1663 by order of Charles II. Proger was a Groom of the King’s Bedchamber, an M.P. and Lord of the Manor of West Stow in Suffolk and was made Keeper of the Middle Park and Harewarren in 1665. After the death of Charles II in 1685, Proger retired to Busky Lodge. It had cost £4000 to build and Proger was never reimbursed except for two payments of £4000 which he received in the two years before his death in 1713 aged 96 at Bushy House ‘through the pain of cutting new teeth’.
