History of Worthy Park House
The original Worthy Park House on the site was built by William Evelyn in 1722. It was bought by Sir Chaloner Ogle, 1st Baronet in 1773. Sir Charles Ogle, 2nd Baronet inherited the house in 1816 and commissioned Sir Robert Smirke to demolish the west wing and replace it with a new building, built in the Georgian style, which was completed in 1820.

The house was acquired by Samuel Wall, a banker, in 1825 and remained in the Wall family until it passed to Captain C. G. Fryer in the late 1870s. It then remained in the Fryer family passing to Colonel James Butchart, a grandson of Captain Fryer, in the first half of the 20th century. During the Second World War it was taken over by the British Army. After the war it served as a training centre owned first by Currys and then by National Express. The house became Prince's Mead School in 1999. It is a Grade II* listed building
