Roehampton House, Queen Mary's Hospital

The Grade I listing was made on 23 October 1978 as list entry 1357694. Thomas Archer built the central block between 1710 and 1712 for the merchant Thomas Cary, and the interiors included a two-storey painted salon with work by Sir James Thornhill. Sir Edwin Lutyens added the north and south wings and altered the house between 1910 and 1913, and Historic England notes that 'the Lutyens parts would in themselves merit Grade II*'. In June 1915 the house became Queen Mary's Hospital, Roehampton, founded to fit artificial limbs to amputees of the First World War, and the first 25 patients moved in that month. The entrance gates and lodges with their related walls are separately listed Grade II, NHLE 1357695, and the walled-garden walls and gates Grade II, NHLE 1065483. Two more of the borough's five Grade I entries stand within a kilometre: Parkstead House, NHLE 1357675, at Holybourne Avenue, SW15 4DH, and Mount Clare, NHLE 1184436, in Minstead Gardens, SW15 4EE. The Roehampton Village Conservation Area is one of the borough's 46 designated conservation areas.
