Description

Wricklemarsh House was built in 1721 by Sir Gregory Page and passed to his great nephew, Sir Gregory Page Turner in 1775. It was designed by John James and stood in Blackheath Park, close to the corner of what is now Pond Road, Blackheath Park and Foxes Dale. In 1763 the house was sold to John Cator who oversaw its demolition in 1787.

In the upper left corner of the original print the text 'Vol. I.' is printed, and in the upper right, 'P.394'.
