Awarded ‘Best UK Development of 2006’ by the Daily Mail, amongst various other accolades, Wall Hall is a historic and enviable place to reside. The Wall Hall estate can be traced back to 1621, when it was owned by Viscount Falkland, the Lord of the Manor at Aldenham.
In the 19th century the gothic-style mansion, which is now the elaborate centrepiece of the development, was built for George Woodford Thelluseon, a city banker. In 1910 it was bought by U.S. banker John Pierpoint Morgan Jnr who entertained members of the Royal family there, including the then Princess Elizabeth, the late Queen Mother. It has since become the residence of the American Ambassador, Joseph Kennedy and his family during World War II. It has also been a training centre and, in more recent years, a campus for the University of Hertfordshire.
