Biddesden House

Biddesden House is a Grade I listed house[1] in the parish of Ludgershall, Wiltshire and near to Andover in Hampshire. It is home to an Arabian Horse stud farm.

History

The house belonged to John Richmond Webb from 1692. About 1909 it was bought sight unseen by George Gribble, on the recommendation of his wife Norah Royd and their son Philip; the family moved there from Henlow Grange.[2] It was bought by Bryan Guinness in the 1930s, whose family still live there.

Biddesden Stud

The stud bred the eventing champion Tamarillo.
