    The house was built by James Chase, who was M.P. for Great Marlow in the reign of Queen Anne, and is a large square building in the classical style with an imposing porch. During the 18th century it was successively occupied by Dr. Maddox, Bishop of Worcester, and Mr. Everard Faukener, ambassador to the Porte and postmaster-general. Also Field Marshall Sir George Nugent, MP and Lieutenant Governor and Commander in Chief in Jamaica purchased the house in October 1808 and lived there with his wife the diarist Maria Skinner and their six children. Unsure if he died in Westhorpe House or Waddesdon House (this could be a mistake for Westthorpe House) on 11 March 1849 aged 91.
