1760
Shorty after taking his seat in the House of Lords, the 3rd Earl Marchmont has taken up residence in Piccotts End. Already the owner of the splendid Palladian mansion Marchmont House in Scotland, the Earl has moved to the village to be within travelling distance of London. He has made considerable renovations to an existing property at the south end of the village, now renamed Marchmont House (pictured here from the river Gade).
