Originally built on the site of a Tudor farmstead in 1714 Riverhill House is Grade II listed. It is located on the south-facing slope of the Greensand Ridge. In 1840 John Rogers bought Riverhill. He was an only child, with a modest fortune, and a fine intellect. He became a classics scholar, a scientist and a friend of Charles Darwin. He was one of the first members of the Royal Horticultural Society and a patron of the plant collectors of the day.
