End of Tenancy Cleaning Cassiobury WD17

This WD17 area formed around the estate that included the Cassiobury House. This was the main residence of the Earls of Essex. The building was a Neoclassical style house built in 1556 featuring 56 rooms. It was renovated in the Gothic Revival style. The name derives from Caegesho which formed from the Old English words “Caeg” which may be a proper name and “ho” which means land. In the 11th century, it was called Caissou. The manor of Cashio was given to Sir Richard Moryson by King Henry VIII in 1546. It was Sir Richard who built Cassiobury House. Its original grounds reached North Watford and Moor Park.

Urban development began in 1908 when most of the estate was sold. Unfortunately, no one bought Cassiobury House so it was demolished in 1927. Its site is now occupied by the Temple Sits and Cassiobury Tennis Club. The stable block of the house still stands. It can be found on Richmond Drive and it’s a Grade II listed construction. Little Cassiobury on Hempstead Road is the Grade II listed dower house. Conningesby Drive, De Vere Walk, and Capelvere Walk are some of the local streets that borrow the name of former inhabitants of the Cassiobury House.

Cassiobury Park formed in 1909 after the estate was sold and the house demolished. There is a weekly park run event every Saturday at 9 am. The park is home to many birds such as teal, grey wagtail, and grey heron. Cassiobury Park is a popular filming location. The Park is close to many studios including Elstree Studios. The Star Wars: Episode 1 scene where Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon meet Jar Jar for the first time is filmed in the area. Watford tube station serves this North London area. The project to build the Cassiobridge local tube station is currently on hold. The name is borrowed from the 19th-century Cassiobridge Farm and Lodge.
