Rossway Park is a {{convert|1,000|acre}} country estate located about 0.5 kilometers south of Berkhamsted in Hertfordshire, England. The house at the centre of the estate is a Grade II listed building. HistoryThe Rossway Park estate, which dates from the 17th century and was then known as Rothway,[1] was bought by Robert Sutton from Highgate in 1802.[2] Charles Stanton Hadden, a coffee planter operating in Ceylon, acquired the estate in 1863, demolished the original mansion and built a new house which was completed in 1867.[3] In 1903 the property passed to Major-General Charles Hadden, a British Army officer who became Master-General of the Ordnance.[2] It then passed to the general's son, Major Adrian Hadden Paton, in 1949 and remained in the hands of the Hadden Paton family[4] until 1998 when it was acquired by Khoo Kay Peng, chairman of MUI Group, which owns a majority stake in the retail chain Laura Ashley.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Rossway Name Meaning & Rossway Family History at Ancestry.com|url=http://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=rossway|website=www.ancestry.com|accessdate=28 January 2017}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|title=Parishes: Northchurch or Berkhampstead St Mary, A History of the County of Hertford: volume 2 |year=1908|pages= 245–250|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43275|accessdate= 18 October 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-488456-main-house-at-rossway-northchurch-hertfo|title=Main House at Rossway|publisher=British listed buildings|accessdate=18 October 2014}} 4. ^Haste, p. 58 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2384592/Laura-Ashley-chiefs-prisoner-wife-500m-divorce-battle-Estranged-spouse-says-husband-rationed-food-wouldnt-let-leave-permission.html|title=Laura Ashley chief's 'prisoner wife' in £500m divorce battle: Estranged spouse says husband rationed her food and wouldn't let her leave without permission|publisher=Daily Mail|date= 4 August 2013|accessdate=18 October 2014}} Sources
