===Stanmore Hall===
Built in the 1840s, Stanmore Hall is a [[Grade II* listed]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101194606-stanmore-hall-stanmore-park-ward|title=Stanmore Hall, Harrow, Harrow}}</ref> building built as a gothic castle. Located on Wood Lane near the top of Stanmore Hill, Stanmore Hall was developed by Matthew John Rhodes and was owned by balloonist [[Robert Hollond]] and his wife [[Ellen Hollond]], who lived for the rest of their lives at the residence. The interiors were redesigned by [[William Morris]] later that century. [[William Knox D'Arcy]] resided at the Hall, where he died in 1917. One of the pioneers of the oil exploration business, D'Arcy's funeral was attended by dignitaries and celebrities, carrying his coffin from the hall through the village to St John the Evangelist for service.<ref name="stanmoretouristboard.org.uk">{{cite web| url = https://www.stanmoretouristboard.org.uk/stanmore_hall.html| title = Stanmore Tourist Board {{!}} Stanmore Hall Wood Lane {{!}} Visit Stanmore}}</ref>

After D'Arcy's death Stanmore Hall was sold and no longer used as a family home. During the Second World War it was used by [[Allied Expeditionary Air Force]], and after the war until 1971 it was a nurse's home for the [[Royal National Orthopedic Hospital]].<ref name="books.google.co.uk">{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=atktMkuOvPwC&pg=PA176|title = British Horror Film Locations|isbn = 9780786451937|last1 = Pykett|first1 = Derek|date = 10 January 2014| publisher=McFarland }}</ref>

Stanmore Hall has been used as a filming location, such as the British films ''[[Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed]]'', ''[[Nothing but the Night]]'', 1960s series ''[[The Avengers (TV programme)|The Avengers]]'' and later ITV's ''[[The Professionals (TV series)|The Professionals]]''.<ref name="stanmoretouristboard.org.uk"/><ref name="books.google.co.uk"/>

Following neglect, the structure of the building deteriorated, and it received damage by a fire in 1979. Eventually in 1998 the Hall was converted into separate luxury dwellings by a developer.<ref name="stanmoretouristboard.org.uk"/><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.casemine.com/judgement/uk/5a8ff73a60d03e7f57eaa0ab|title = National House Building Council v Relicpride Ltd & Ors &#124; &#91;2009&#93; EWHC 1260 (TCC) &#124; England and Wales High Court (Technology & Construction Court) &#124; Judgment &#124; Law &#124; CaseMine}}</ref>
