The Main House is {{convert|20535|sqft|m2}} and the Coach House is {{convert|4027|sqft|m2}}. HistoryThe house was built for James Chase MP in the classical style in about 1700.[1] It became the home of Dr. Isaac Maddox, Bishop of Worcester, and then of Everard Fawkener, Postmaster General, and later of Alexander Wynch, Governor of Madras, during the 18th century.[2] It was bought by Field marshal Sir George Nugent in October 1809.[3] It passed to George Jackson, a landowner, in 1863[4] and later to Major Herbert Gordon, an officer in the 93rd Highlanders,[5] who was still living there in 1925.[1] It is possible that the house was used as a prisoner of war camp during World War II.[6] It was the UK head office of Lexmark who vacated the house in 2004.[7] In March 2014 it was still being marketed as a potential company head office.[8] References1. ^1 {{cite book |editor-first=William |editor-last=Page |location=London |publisher=British History Online |chapter=Parishes: Little Marlow |title=A History of the County of Buckingham |volume=3 |year=1925 |pages=77-84 |accessdate=2 March 2014}} {{coord|51.57805|-0.75044|type:landmark_region:GB|display=title}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.twickenham-museum.org.uk/house_detail.asp?HouseID=55|title=Houses of Local Interest & their Occupiers|publisher=Twickenham Museum|accessdate=2 March 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/20390?docPos=1|title=Sir George Nugent, 1st Baronet|publisher=Oxford Dictionary of National Biography|accessdate=2 March 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://littlemarlowcricket.webeden.co.uk/#/1857-1866/4539609690|title=Little Marlow Cricket Club|publisher=|accessdate=2 March 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web |page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=uOHHuwI8tD4C&pg=PA249 249]|title=The Plantagenet Roll of the Blood Royal: The Mortimer-Percy Volume |accessdate=2 March 2014}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://ubp.buckscc.gov.uk/SingleResult.aspx?uid=MBC24949|title=Site of possible Second World War prisoner-of-war camp in the grounds of Westhorpe House|publisher=Buckinghamshire County Council|accessdate=2 March 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.wycombe.gov.uk/Core/DownloadDoc.aspx?documentID=7397|title=Viability assessment|accessdate=2 March 2014}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.deriaz.co.uk/commercial-property/marlow/buckinghamshire/marlow/100009000241/|title=Westhorpe House, Marlow|publisher=Deriaz Slater|accessdate=2 March 2014}} 1 : Country houses in Buckinghamshire |
