Hazlegrove House

Hazlegrove House

Hazelgrove House is a substantial 17th-century house and Grade II listed building located in the parish of Queen Camel near Sparkford, Somerset, England. It was largely rebuilt by Carew Mildmay in 1730. After being used as a hospital facility during World War II, the house became the home of the Hazlegrove Preparatory School in 1947.[1] The house is set within 200 acres (0.81 km2) of parkland, with direct access to the A303 road.

Due to school sports pitches and other developments the parkland has been put on the Heritage at Risk register.[2]

The gardens and parkland are listed Grade II on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.[3]
