Summary for those that like history/architecture:

Catherine Tylney-LONG married William POLE-Wellesley in 1812. She was heiress to this Palladian mansion in Wanstead and the richest woman in England, he was the debt-ridden nephew of the Duke of Wellington.

By 1822 the money had dried up, the house was demolished and sold for bricks, leaving only the Grotto, ornamental lakes and Temple, still visible today. They fled to Italy to escape the creditors whereupon William abandoned Catherine for another woman. Catherine died 2 years later aged 36 and eventually William ended up doing time in Fleet Prison.

  'Redeemed by no single virtue, adorned by no single grace' read William's obituary.

Sad also from an architectural point of view because the building was one of Colen Campbell's first commissions, the architect credited for founding Georgian style.
