The last owner of Wimpole Hall was Elsie Bambridge, daughter of Rudyard Kipling. She was a widow for about 30 of the years she was in residence there and lived in the substantial basement for a good chunk of that time.
The house is quite lovely inside in a shabby kind of way. The kids liked the Yellow Drawing Room and I loved the Library and Book Room. Downstairs is an unconsecrated chapel which we all liked, as well as a bath house which we thought was quite unusual.
