House & Family History: The core of Lockinge House was built by Matthew Wymondsold, lord of the manor, in about 1750. It was a three-story house built of brick and stone with side wings. The Hall featured a very fine late 17th century oak screen from a London livery company guildhall. The Lockinge Estate was purchased by Lord Overstone in the 1850s (before the engagement of his daughter, later Lady Wantage) and was given as a wedding present to her and her husband. Lord Wantage was largely responsible for building the village. (We are grateful to Dale Ingram for this information).

Collections: Raphael's "Study for the Disputa" was sold to the Getty Museum in August of 1984 for £670,000; the painting was sold from the Loyd Charitable Trust, which owns much of the collection originally at Lockinge House.
