Introduction
The house and gardens at Willersey House were created in the early 20th century and feature a gazebo.
- History
In 1907 A N Prentice exhibited a design at the Royal Academy for a proposed house at Willersey to be built on the site of the present Willersey House. The house was completed in 1912, not to this design but in a similar Cotswold style by Prentice. Between 1994 and 1995 extensive improvements were carried out to the designs of Peter Yiangou.
