Scarhill is the former lodge to Woodchester Mansion. It was designed by Benjamin Bucknall, who also designed the mansion. The mansion is a Gothic revival house which remains unfinished to this day. The lodge and the mansion are both located in Woodchester Park in Woodchester, near Nympsfield. Scarhill is believed to have been built in approximately 1860 for William Leigh. The property was occupied by descendants of William Leigh following his death in 1873, most prominently his granddaughters Blanche and Beatrice, who like Leigh, were devout Catholics. The Misses Leigh were responsible for the foundation of St Joseph’s Church in Nympsfield and St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, which was founded after much controversy and campaigning in 1903.
