The Coade Venus and Bacchus.

Bourne Hall Museum, Ewell. Surrey.

Formerly Garbrand

In 1765 City vintner Philip Rowden bought land here and built a mansion on the highest point. In 1796 it was purchased by Thomas Hercey Barritt who added pavilions at each end of the house, plus a barn, brew-house and dairy near the horse pond. 

He also built the boundary wall with elegant ironwork, and a monumental gateway and the house became known as Garbrand Hall.

The Waterwheel in the grounds of Bourne Hall originally pumped water to greenhouses. The wheel is framed in a Flint arch with a Coade stone keystone. 

The Venus and Baccus were at one time placed either side of the waterwheel by Bourne Hall Lake.

By the 1869 Bourne Hall, then called Garbrand Hall was in the ownership of the George Torr and his wife.

 In the mid to latter years of the 19th century Elizabeth Torr worked with her team of gardeners to produce the garden.

It was  renamed Bourne Hall in the 1926 and sadly demolished in 1962.
