The House from a 19th century illustration
Garden & Outbuildings: During World War I the Park was used to house German prisoners of war. In the early years of World War II evacuated children from London were housed on the Estate. In 1942 the United States Army Air Corps First Bomb Wing Headquarters was established on the site and it was used to billet American airmen. In 1955 Brampton Park became RAF Brampton and, among others, the Central Reconnaissance Establishment unit, which was formed at Brampton in 1957, was located there. RAF Brampton later was home to RAF Support Command. The base was closed in 2013.
