BOSTON MANOR HOUSE AND LAKE
AS IT WAS
and
AS IT IS NOW


Boston Manor House and the lake in the early years of this century. The original house of 1622 extends from the right to the second gable. The third gable was added in 1670 and the low extension in the eighteenth century. It was built in 1622 for Lady Mary Reade, a relative by marriage to Sir Thomas Gresham. From 1670 to 1824 the house was owned by the Clitherow family. It was used as a school in the years 1940 - 1961. Extensively restored in the early 1960's it is now owned by the borough of Hounslow and leased to 'The Over Forties Association for Women'



I had difficulty in finding a view of the
House from the lake, as the trees and bushes
have grown so much, however you can just see
a little bit of it behind the large tree. The
house itself is boarded up but it is open from
2pm each day.
