Abbot's Hill School is a independent girls' school in Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom. It had been the home of John Dickinson (1782–1869) who was his own architect in its building, just east of his paper mill, Nash Mills. Construction was commenced in 1836. The building material was unusual, being dark grey stone setts, taken from the railway lines when replaced by wooden sleepers. The house design was unusual, having only a single door to the outside despite its size. John Dickinson's youngest daughter Harriet Ann (1823–1858) married Sir John Evans, K.C.B. (1823–1908) and their son Sir Arthur John Evans (1851–1941) inherited Abbott's Hill but never lived there. In 1912 it became a girls' school.
