Panshanger was a large country house near Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire. Earl Cowper, who later became Lord Chancellor of Great Britain, acquired the Cole Green estate c. 1700. He remodelled the estate in 1704 and made alterations to the house in 1711. The 5th Earl Cowper commissioned Samuel Wyatt and then William Atkinson to design a new house in a slightly different location in Regency-Gothic style; construction work started on site in 1806. The park was landscaped by Humphry Repton. Following the death of the 7th Earl Cowper in 1905, the estate was inherited by Lady Desborough and, after she died in 1952, the estate was sold in lots by auction the following year but there was no interest in the house itself and it was demolished in 1958.
