Sunbury Court Conference Centre. Sunbury Court was built in 1723 for John Witt, who was probably a retired master builder. Much sold, bought, and extended through the years it was last occupied as a residential home by William Horatio Harfield. When he died in 1910, the building became derelict and only when the Salvation Army purchased it in 1925 was it saved. Today the Salvation Army still run the Grade II* listed building as an international conference centre. This view was taken from the Lower Hampton Road outside. http://www.sunburycourt.co.uk/tour_sunbury/tour_sunbury.htm
