Bentley Priory Nature Reserve

Bentley Priory Nature Reserve is a Site of Special Scientific Interest〔 and Local Nature Reserve in Stanmore in the London Borough of Harrow. It is a 55 hectare mosaic of ancient woodland, unimproved neutral grassland, scrub, wetland, streams and an artificial lake, an unusual combination of habitats in Greater London.〔(Natural England, Bentley Priory SSSI citation )〕
==History==

Bentley Priory was an Augustinian priory of Canons in the Middle Ages, but it ceased to exist before the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s. In 1775 Sir John Soane designed a new house which stood north of the original priory, also called Bentley Priory. Edgware Brook, a small stream which ran through the grounds, was dammed to form Summerhouse Lake, which was named after the lakeside gazebo of Queen Adelaide,〔(Harrow Heritage Trust, Bentley Priory Nature Reserve )〕 the widow of King William IV, who spent the last years of her life there in the 1840s.
The grounds and house were separated when the house became RAF Bentley Priory, the headquarters of Fighter Command during the Second World War. The grounds are now maintained as a nature reserve by the Harrow Nature Conservation Forum, a sub-committee of the Harrow Heritage Trust.〔(Harrow Heritage Trust, Harrow Nature Conservation Forum )〕
