The house, which lies on the site of an old Cistercian abbey, was built by John Sayer, in the Georgian style in 1727.[1] The staircase dates from the same period.[2] The house then passed to Ralph Verney, 2nd Earl Verney before it was acquired, on Verney's death in 1791, by George Morgan, who was High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire.[3] The house remained in the ownership of the Morgan and then the Morgan-Grenville family for most of the 19th century.[4] It was bought by Lieutenant Colonel Reginald Badger in around 1932 and then remained in the Badger family for many years before passing to Mrs. Elizabeth Maud Gordon.[5] It was then comprehensively renovated in the 1980s.[1]
The church of St Margaret of Scotland is situated in the grounds of Biddlesden Park.[6]
