Great Culverden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

About half a mile from the centre of Tunbridge Wells lies a small 9½ acre wood, known as Great Culverden Park. The first big house built on the highest point in that wood (currently the Kent & Sussex Hospital car park) was known as Culverden House. When Jacob Jeddere Fisher pulled down the old house and built himself another, in 1830, he named it Great Culverden and its grounds, Great Culverden Park, are virtually all that remains.
