Danbury Place was an English country house, first built by Sir Walter Mildmay in the time of Elizabeth I, dated to 1589.The eldest (Frances) Elizabeth married Sir William Hillary in 1800, who bought out his father-in-law's interest in the house in 1801, and resided there with his young family.[4][7] Round resided at Danbury Place, having replaced the old house with a new one designed by Thomas Hopper (1832), in a Tudor Gothic (neo-Elizabethan) style.[12][4] At the beginning of World War II, the house and grounds belonged to John Tyson Wigan, who allowed its use as a maternity hospital.[4] After three decades of use as a conference centre, Danbury Palace was sold by Anglia Ruskin University to be converted (as of 2017) into thirteen flats.
