H. Asquith, and were his country home until his death.{{sfn|Tyack|Bradley|Pevsner|2010|p=553}} The Wharf dates from the early 19th-century, and was reconstructed by Walter Cave from 1912[1] as a weekend retreat for the Asquiths. It is a two storey red brick building built with Flemish bond bricks.[1] At the time the Asquiths lived there, and until a county reorganisation in 1974, Sutton Courtenay was located in Berkshire. In 2006, Mill House was bought by Asquith's great-granddaughter, the actress Helena Bonham Carter and her then partner, the director Tim Burton.[2] Asquith's grandson, Mark Bonham Carter, described the house in his Introduction to Margot Asquith's autobiography, republished in 1962. "It was an unattractive house and did not escape the vulgarity which hangs around the Thames Valley."{{sfn|Margot Asquith|1962|p=xxxii}} Notes1. ^1 2 {{NHLE|desc=Walton House|num=1284624|accessdate=2 January 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web|last=Iggulden |first=Amy |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1513815/Bonham-Carter-buys-back-family-heritage-for-2.9m.html |title=Bonham Carter buys back family heritage for £2.9m |publisher=Telegraph |date=2006-03-24 |accessdate=2016-09-19}} Sources{{commonscat|Mill House and The Wharf, Sutton Courtenay}}
