John Leach Esq of Lea Park

Lea Park, now called Witley Park, is a 500-to-1,400-acre estate near Witley, Surrey, famous for its extravagant history, underwater ballroom, and its association with financier Whitaker Wright, who developed it in the 1890s. The original mansion burned down in 1952, but the park, artificial lakes, and underground room remain.
