The man who created the gardens at Studley Royal.
A Georgian theme at the Banqueting House, during World Heritage Day at Studley Royal.
Waverley Abbey House was built 1723 for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir John Aislabie, and using some materials from the old abbey to construct it.
It is across the small lake from the old abbey ruins and is a Grade I Listed building.
Sir Walter Scott used to visit the family living at Waverley Abbey House in the early 19th century, and it is thought by some that he used the name for Waverley (1814), the first historical novel.
Hence named after it would also be the Waverley Novels and Waverley Station, Edinburgh and Waverley, Sydney.
In the 19th century the house passed into the hands of George Nicholson, brother-in-law of Florence Nightingale, a frequent visitor to Waverley. During the First World War the house was used as a Military Hospital, caring for 5,000 officers over this period. In later years it became a residential nursing home.
Waverley Abbey House is now the HQ of the Christian group CWR (Crusade for World Revival).
