A view eastward from Greenwich Park of what is now Vanbrugh Castle, built in 1712 on Maze Hill by Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726) as his own house when Surveyor of Greenwich Hospital. It was originally one of a surrounding group for a number of his relatives but now the sole survivor. In the 20th century, after some rebuilding in 1904, it was a school until the 1970s but was then reconverted into several private residences.
