HISTORY: The original house was built between 1842 and 1845 by John Titsel Harvey of Caldecote Hill. This house was bought by Ann Reveley in 1845, who expanded the site and passed it through the Reveley line and eventually to Jocelyn Tufton Farrant Otway [son of the patron of the former Otway or Caldecote Towers (q.v.) across the Elstree Road]. Otway commissioned London architect A.E. Hubert to extend Reveley Lodge to the east with new servants quarters, and to the west with the enlarged drawing room and the new Billiard Room, with Arthur Silver grassweave wallpaper and Conservatory. In 1910, the house was leased by artist Albert Ranney Chewett [1877-1965] whose work now in the Bushey Museum includes a number of scenes of Reveley Lodge. SUBSIDIARY: Coach House and Stables (q.v.) and Gothic style Boiler House with attached wall and lean-to glasshouses (q.v.) listed separately.
