Digswell House
House in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England
About
Digswell House is a Grade II listed country house in Hertfordshire, erected c. 1805–1807 by Samuel Wyatt for the Edward Spencer Cowper, who lived there for some years. It was built in the parish of Digswell from which it takes its name, but was transferred to Welwyn Garden City in 1921. The house is now in the Knightsfield area of Welwyn Garden City. The current house was erected a little eastward of the site on which its predecessor had stood and was built as a commodious country gentleman's home, in an architectural style that can best be described as neoclassical. A portico, with four massive Ionic columns, on the south front is its most impressive external feature.
