Clifton Hampden Manor
Clifton Hampden Manor is a country house in the village of Clifton Hampden, Oxfordshire, England, overlooking the River Thames. It has been a Grade II listed building since 1987.[1]
It was built by Sir Gilbert Scott about 1843–46 as a parsonage for Henry Hucks Gibbs, who in 1896 became Hucks Gibbs, 1st Baron Aldenham.[1] It was soon extended, probably by Charles Buckeridge, for the Revd. J.L. Gibbs.[1]
In 2000, a descendant, the antiques dealer and collector and 60s figure Christopher Gibbs reluctantly sold the house, and Christie's auctioned off the contents over two days.[2]
The house is now owned by the singer-songwriter Kate Bush.[3]
