View of Wanstead House, the seat of the Earl of Tilney (Tylney), engraved for Harrison's History of London in 1775. The house was designed by the Scottish architect, Colen Campbell, commissioned by Sir Richard Child in 1715 and completed in 1722 in the Palladian style and meant to rival Blenheim in magnificence. It was sadly demolished to clear the debts of William Pole-Tylney-Long-Wellesley, who had married heiress Catherine Tylney-Long in 1812. The grounds the house once stood now forms Wanstead Park, with the only remains of the house being The Temple, and the Grotto (as well as two stone pillars carved with Richard Child's initials at the cross roads of Bush Road, Overton Drive and Blake Hall Road). Date: 1775
