Watlington Hall - 2010-2012

Watlington House is one of Reading's oldest and most interesting buildings, reflected in its Grade 2* listing.

Part of the building is medieval but the back of the house was built for John Watlington, a Reading merchant in 1688 and the front was added in 1763. By 1818 the building was being used as a school and education remained its main use until Kendrick School vacated in 1927.

Since 1931 the building was acquired by Watlington House Management Committee. A Trust providing accommodation for social and educational organisations.

The building is also home to the Mills Archive Trust, a National Repository for images and documents on traditional windmills and watermills.
