History to the present day

Chipping Campden owes a historical debt to one of its greatest benefactors, Sir Baptist Hicks, later Viscount Campden. Some time after 1608 Sir Baptist Hicks acquired the manor of Chipping Campden, from which he took his title, and built a magnificent house which was deliberately sacrificed during the English Civil Wars when the then Lord Campden, a fervent royalist, ordered it razed rather than be garrisoned by the Parliamentarians. All that remains of Hicks' imposing estate are two gatehouses, two Jacobean banqueting houses and Lady Juliana's gateway. Lady Juliana Noel, Sir Baptist's daughter, heir and widow of Edward Noel, second Viscount Campden, lived afterwards in the converted stables, now called The Court in Calf Lane Hick's... where her descendant still live to this day. Now you are invited to share in its history as a house guest!
