History
The Chippenham Park Estate was acquired by Thomas Revett, a London merchant, in 1558. It passed to the Russell family around 1600 and the present house was commissioned by Edward Russell, 1st Earl of Orford in 1689.[1] It was acquired by John Tharp in 1791[2] and remained in the ownership of the Tharp family until 1948 when it inherited by a nephew Basil Bacon.[1] It remained in the Bacon family until it was inherited by Mr and Mrs Eustace Crawley in 1985. The house is now a wedding venue.[3]
