==History== Sited close to the great Roman road, Ermine Street, Wimpole was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. At that time there was a moated manor house set in a small {{convert|81|ha|acre|sing=on|abbr=off}} deer park.<ref name="NHLEGarden" /> Situated to the north and south of this were three medieval villages: Bennall End, Thresham End and Green End.
The estate was held by the Chicheley family for more than 250 years,<ref>Souden, p. 5</ref> beginning in 1428 with Henry Chichele who was Archbishop of Canterbury.<ref>{{cite book|title=The History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1604-1629| chapter=CHICHELEY, Sir Thomas (1578-1616), of Wimpole, Cambs.|editor=Andrew Thrush and John P.

==The estate== Wimpole Hall's grounds, enclosed in 1302,<ref name="NHLEGarden" /> were laid out and modified by landscape designers such as George London and Henry Wise (1693–1705), Charles Bridgeman (1720s), Robert Greening (1740s), "Capability" Brown (1767), and Humphry Repton (1801–1809).<ref>Souden, pp. 79–85</ref> Bridgeman's formal grand avenue sweeps away from the south front of the house for two and a half miles, in contrast with the remainder of the park which was "naturalised" by Capability Brown.
