Wimpole Hall and Church 2012-11-11
From SW. The central 7-bay section was designed by Henry Flitcroft, 1742, but conceals an earlier structure begun c.1640 for Sir Thomas Chicheley. The depth of Chicheley's house is apparent from this angle, with S facing and N facing rooms sandwiching main and service staircases in between - this double-pile (or maybe, in this case, triple-pile) type of plan was quite novel at the time. The 5-bay wings to W and E were added to the designs of James Gibbs, 1713-21. The chimney stacks are Victorian. The parish church, mostly rebuilt to Flitcroft's design, is visible on the right. List description for house: list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1128166 .
