Great Culverden Park
Woodland in Kent, England
About
Great Culverden Park is a small, 4.2ha, woodland, about half a mile from the centre of Tunbridge Wells in Kent, England, west of Mount Ephraim and bounded entirely by houses along Royal Chase, Connaught Way, Knightsbridge Close, Culverden Park and Royal Wells Park. It is not accessible, or visible, from a public place.
The Park is the remnant grounds of the former Culverden House, designed by Decimus Burton for Jacob Jeddere Fisher in 1830 and built on the highest point in the wood and the first big house to be built there. When Jacob Jeddere Fisher pulled down the old house and built himself another, in 1830, he named it Great Culverden. Great Culverden House was once the residence of Rear Admiral Charles Davis Lucas, VC, who died there in 1914.
