I remember during my years as a student at the Roehampton Institute of Higher Education (now Roehampton Institute) in the late 1980s and early 1990s that there was a very fine looking stately building in the grounds of Froebel College (one of the four colleges that comprised the Roehampton Institute), close to the junction of Roehampton Lace and Clarence Lane. I assume that building to be either late Eighteenth or early Nineteenth Century. The grounds were quite expansive and I remember a beautiful wooden panelled room inside. A soft-back A4 size photographic book by Patrick Loobey called 'Putney and Roehampton', which I purchased about thirty years ago from the Wandsworth Museum when it was located at Putney Library in Disraeli Road, and Dorian Gerhold's 'Putney and Roehampton Past' are excellent sources of information on these old buildings of Putney and Roehampton - both take a prominent position on my bookshelf as someone born in Roehampton and a resident of the area for over 33 years. I'm not sure whether either books are still in print though.
