History of Taplow House
Hotel
An Elizabethan Manor was built in
1598 on a green and secluded hill
just east of Maidenhead on what was
thought to have been the site of
an Anglo-Saxon settlement dating
back at least 1,300 years. A devastating
fire completely destroyed that house
in 1660, the existing Georgian property
was built in 1751 and it remained
a private residence until 1958.
The building has a
rich and varied history following
its presentation
by James l to Hampson, the first
governor of Virginia in 1628. It
was owned by Pascoe Grenfell, the
MP for Great Marlow and Penrhyn
in 1794 before being sold to the
Marquess
of Thomond in 1838. It has been
put up for sale by auction twice,
once
in 1875 and again in 1906 where
auction booklets have clearly recorded
the
many changes to the property over
time. The 1875 auction details
list several outbuildings including
a
thatched outer larder as well as
a conical icehouse, which sadly
disappeared over time.
The grounds of the
Hotel hold a number of interesting
trees. The
Cedar of
Lebanon, introduced into Great
Britain in 1638 was planted in
the gardens
around 1880. But the trees with
the most interesting story by
far are
the Tulip Trees. These trees
were planted over 220 years ago and
are reputed to be the tallest
and
fattest
examples in Europe.
