Badgemore is a former civil parish, now in the parishes of Bix and Assendon and Rotherfield Greys, in the South Oxfordshire district, in Oxfordshire, England, west of Henley-on-Thames.
William the Conqueror gave Henry de Ferrers a considerable number of manors including Badgemore in Oxfordshire. [1] In the early 19th century the house passed to a Mr Charles Lane [2] and later that century it was acquired by a Mr Richard Ovey, who was High Sheriff of Oxfordshire. [3] In 1884 Ovey commissioned John Norton to re-model and enlarge the house. [4]
Ovey leased Badgemore to Admiral of the Fleet the Earl of Clanwilliam who received a visit from Carola, Queen of Saxony there in April 1905. [5] Clanwilliam died at Badgemore in August 1907. [6] The house is now a serviced office facility within the grounds of a golf club. [7]
On 31 December 1894 Badgemore became a separate civil parish, being formed from part of Henley on Thames, on 1 April 1952 the parish was abolished and merged with Bix and Rotherfield Greys. [8] In 1951 the parish had a population of 172. [9]
