The Bower House (/ˈbər/) is a Grade I listed Palladian mansion in Havering-atte-Bower, England.[1] It was built in 1729 by Henry Flitcroft, and was his first commission.[1] The stable block was built at the same time and is separately grade I listed.[2] Landscape architect Charles Bridgeman designed the grounds and possibly the stable block.[1][3] The mansion incorporated architectural items salvaged from the ruined Havering Palace.[3] The staircase features murals by James Thornhill.[1]

It remained a private home until 1976 when it was purchased by the Ford Motor Company.[4] It is currently used as a Christian training centre.[5] The house forms part of the Open House London festival.[6]
