===Namesakes=== [[File:Dollis Hill House2.jpg|thumb|Dollis House, Gladstone Park, as seen from the gardens]] * [[Gladstone Park, London|Gladstone Park]] in the [[Municipal Borough of Willesden]], London, was named after him in 1899. [[Dollis Hill House]], within what later became the park, was occupied by [[Dudley Marjoribanks, 1st Baron Tweedmouth|Sir Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks]], who subsequently became Lord Tweedmouth. In 1881 Lord Tweedmouth's daughter and her husband, [[John Hamilton-Gordon, 1st Marquess of Aberdeen and Temair|Lord Aberdeen]], took up residence. They often had Gladstone to stay as a guest. In 1897 Lord Aberdeen was appointed [[Governor General of Canada]] and the Aberdeens moved out. When Willesden acquired the house and land in 1899, they named the park Gladstone Park after the old Prime Minister.{{citation needed|date=October 2013}} * Gladstone Rock, a large boulder about 12 ft high in Cwm Llan on the Watkin Path on the south side of [[Snowdon]] where Gladstone made a speech in 1892, was named for him.
