BACKGROUND INFORMATION: After the Restoration, during the 1660s, the original Oatlands house was the residence of William Boteler who had supported the Commonwealth and served as one of the ten major-generals during the Rule of the Major-Generals (1656), In 1790, Oatlands was leased from the Crown by the Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany the second son of George III, and the subject of the nursery rhyme The Grand Old Duke of York. His architect was Henry Holland. In 1794 that mansion was burnt down and was then rebuilt in the Gothic style of the period. After the death of the Duchess of York in 1820, the whole property was sold. It was bought by Edward Hughes Ball Hughes in 1824. In 1846 the estate was broken up into lots for building development and sold at three public auctions in May, August and September of that year. Following a period of private ownership by James Watts Peppercorne, the house became a hotel in 1856, known as the South Western (later Oatlands Park) Hotel. From 1916 to 1918, during World War I, the hotel was used as a hospital for New Zealand troops injured in France. The Oatlands Park Hotel now occupies the site where the Oatlands mansion (Oatlands House) once stood. Please explore my ebay shop for more antique prints.
