Mells Park

The architect Edwin Lutyens had known the Horners, and Mells Park, since 1896. In 1918 he unsuccessfully tried to persuade the Horners to rebuild Park House. However, Reginald McKenna, the chairman of Midland Bank, and formerly Home Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer under Asquith, was married to Pamela Jekyll, the niece of Frances Horner. In 1924, the Horners agreed to let Mells Park to them for a nominal rent, on the understanding that the McKennas would rebuild the house. The McKennas had commissioned Lutyens before, in 1911, to build their town house, Mulberry House, at 36 Smith Square, London. Lutyens rebuilt Park House in neoclassical style in 1925. He built a two-storey, hip-roofed house in Bath stone, on the outline of the previous building, and joined it onto the surviving arcaded service court. The new main range has seven bays along the south and north elevations and four along each side, with Doric pilasters.
