The Earl of Westmoreland oversaw the construction of the present house in 1617. A hundred years later the estate passed into the ownership of Sir Edward Ward, whose daughter Jane married a Thomas Hunt, and thus the combined name of Ward Hunt came to Wadenhoe.
In 1868 George Ward Hunt became Chancellor of the Exchequer in the first Disraeli government and went on to become First Lord of the Admiralty. He also found time to remodel Wadenhoe into a classical house of the period.
Under the leadership of Peter and Bb Hall, this fine building has recaptured many of its original features and still remains a gracious family home.
A tradition of providing excellent service
Whilst achieving the highest standards of customer service and professionalism, we never forget Wadenhoe House's history as a family home of political importance. Therefore visitors are treated as our House guests and as individuals - not as a "booking".
It is our unobtrusive and comfortable excellence that sets Wadenhoe apart from other venues. You are the centre of our world and therefore we work around you and not the other way round.
We set standards that are praised by our guests and envied by our competitors.
