Photograph Notes: The main building of Woldingham School seen across the parkland of Marden Park. Marden Park was created as a luxury country estate in the 1670s by Sir Robert Clayton, a wealthy banker and Lord Mayor of London from 1679-80, who bought the valley in 1671. It remained in the hands of the family, but was let out from 1800 onwards, one of the subsequent tenants being William Wilberforce and Emperor Louis Napoleon spent most of his exile there. The house was destroyed by fire in 1879 and replaced by the present brick mansion. The estate was sold in 1911 to Sir Walpole Lloyd Greenwell. During the Second World War it was requisitioned by the army, after which, in 1945, it was bought by the nuns of the Society of the Sacred Heart, who the following year opened the Convent of the Sacred Heart, an independent catholic girls' school. In 1985, the school passed to lay management, whilst remaining under the trusteeship of the Society, and was renamed Woldingham School.
