| Notes / History | Morden Park House was a grand building constructed by John Ewart in 1770. It stands on land formerly owned by the Garth family, lords of the manor of Morden from the 16th century. For a brief period following the Second World War, the building became the headquarters for the local golf club. It later became the headquarters for the council Parks Department and stood vacant for a lengthy period from 1985 onwards. Now refurbished Morden Park House now holds the local Registry for births, marriages and deaths. |
