Batchwood Hall, St Albans. Batchwood Hall was designed and built by Sir Edmund Beckett, later Lord Grimthorpe (1816-1905) as a his own residence. Lord Grimthorpe was a barrister and amateur architect and is best known for his controversial restoration work on St Albans Abbey, St Michael's Church and St Peter's Church, St Albans. St Albans Council purchased Batchwood Hall and grounds in 1935 for use as a restaurant and 18-hole municipal golf course, and the hall is now used as a nightclub.
