Barford Park

The current red brick house was built as a two-storey farmhouse, but the front was built in 1710 for the Jeanes family, and another storey and Baroque wings were added in the mid 18th century. The building was restored in the late 20th century by the Stancombs. The new owners carried out extensive renovation works. The park consisted of around in 1837, with a walled kitchen garden to the north of the house. The Victorian pleasure grounds included an "archery glade". ==Ownership==

The estate was certainly owned by the Barford family by 1253, who kept ownership until at least 1810, at which point Anne Barford, the sole heir married John Evered. The estate remained with the Evered family Evered had fought in the Crimean War and was the "oldest living Etonian" at the time of his death. Barford House was bought by the Stamcomb family in 1953, who owned the house until 2012. ==References==
