Adisham Bungalow is a country house near
Haputale, in the Badulla District, Sri Lanka. At present, it houses
the Adisham monastery of Saint Benedict. It has a relic (a chip of a
bone) of St. Sylvester at the chapel.
The house was built in 1931 by an English
aristocrat and planter Sir Thomas Villiers, former Chairman of George
Steuart Co, a trading and estate agency based in Colombo. Sir Thomas
was a grandson of Lord John Russell and descendant of the Dukes of
Bedford. Named after Adisham, it was designed by R. Booth and F.
Webster in Tudor and Jacobean style, on 10 acres (40,000m2)
of land. Adisham Hall played host to many prominent personalities of
the colony until the retirement of Sir Thomas, after which it was
sold to Sedawatte Mills in 1949. In 1961 it was purchased by the
Roman Catholic Church and was subsequently converted to a monastery.
The house is well preserved along with its period fittings and
furniture, and is open to visitors
