Kingswood House was re-built much as it is today by John Lawson Johnson in the late 1800s, and became known as Bovril Castle. Johnson, a butcher by trade, invented Bovril. The House became the nucleus of the Kingswood Estate in 1956. It is now a grade 2 listed mansion known as Kingswood House, but is affectionately called ‘The Castle’. It contains a library, function rooms, offices, and rooms for community events. The top of the ubiquitous Crystal Palace TV Transmitter can be seen behind.
