Wall Hall


Wall Hall, originally known as Aldenham Abbey, is a country house at Aldenham in Hertfordshire.

History

The house, which was built in the gothic style for George Woodford Thelluson, a wealthy banker, was completed in 1802. It was then acquired by Admiral Sir Charles Pole, 1st Baronet in 1812. The house passed to William Stuart, Pole's son-in-law, and then remained in the Stuart family until 1910 when it became the property of the banker J. P. Morgan, Jr..
After use during the Second World War as a home for Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., the United States ambassador, the house became a teacher training college. It was later used as a residence by the University of Hertfordshire until 2003 after which it was re-developed into luxury flats.
