Westhorpe House

The house was built for James Chase MP in the classical style in about 1700.^[1] It became the home of Dr. Isaac Maddox, Bishop of Worcester, and then of Everard Fawkener, Postmaster General, and later of Alexander Wynch, Governor of Madras, during the 18th century.^[2] It was bought by Field marshal Sir George Nugent in October 1809.^[3] George and his wife Maria Nugent moved in 1815. Mary would die here in 1824 and she was buried in Little Marlow's church.^[4]

It passed to George Jackson, a landowner, in 1863^[5] and later to Major Herbert Gordon, an officer in the 93rd Highlanders,^[6] who was still living there in 1925.^[1]

It is possible that the house was used as a prisoner of war camp during World War II.^[7]

It was the UK head office of Lexmark who vacated the house in 2004.^[8]

In March 2014 it was still being marketed as a potential company head office.^[9]
