From: 'Parishes: Taplow', A History of the
County of Buckingham: Volume 3 (1925),
In 1630 Taplow
Manor was bestowed on Charles Harbert, by whom it was sold in 1635 to Thomas
Hampson, Sir Henry Guilford renouncing his rights in the site and fisheries
about the same date. Thomas Hampson,
created a baronet in 1642, suffered in the Civil War at the hands of both
parties. At his death in 1655 he was succeeded by his son Thomas, who died in
1670, leaving a son Dennis, who was sheriff for the county in 1680 and 1683,
and M.P. for Wycombe in 1685. Dennis
Hampson held Taplow until some time about 1700, when he sold it to George Earl
of Orkney.
Taplow Manor -
Wikipedia
There has been a manor house on the site since before the Norman
Conquest in 1066.
The manor was owned by the monks at Merton Priory
until the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
It was then owned by the Hampson family in the 17th century,
coming under attack during the English Civil
War. In the 18th century, Taplow Court was home to the Earl and
Countess of Orkney.

Hertfordshire Record Society
The Tudor manor
house burned down in 1616. It was rebuilt again soon afterwards, probably by
Thomas Hampson, whose family held the estate from 1630. This house was damaged
by both sides during the Civil War and is the basis of the house we see today,
though in a much re-modelled state.

METROPOLITAN COMMISSIONER 1828 aged 38
Probable reason for appointment
Middlesex JP planning Hanwell
The most frequent and regular
visitor of the unpaid commissioners during the two years the records cover
(3.4.2 table two). He remained a commissioner until his death (died 8.5.1833,
not reappointed 12.9.1833). Hampson was one of the eight unpaid commissioners
who signed the Commission's report in July 1829. (3.4.2 table
two)
It is possible that Hampson
was a departmental link with the Lord Chancellor's Office during the period
that the commission was appointed by the Home Office: In the 1828 Law list shown as a
barrister with chambers at
This would be a lawyer appointed to act in
bankruptcy cases by the Lord Chancellor. In 1831 a special court of bankruptcy
was established, of six commissioners with four judges as a court of review,
and official assignees attached to the court for the purpose of getting in the
distributing the bankrupt's assets (1911 Encyclopedia). The development of the
commissioners/court that dealt with Chancery Lunacy followed a similar pattern (see below).

The Times;
Narrow escape,
owing to the fineness of the weather on Christmas Day, Lady Hampson, with her
son and daughter, accompanied by a tutor and governess, strolled along the
beach as far as Ecclesbourne, when on their return back as far as the Neward
Point, they found them selves encompassed by the waves, which had reached the
cliffs. Sir G Hampson and the governess succeeded, by climbing rocks and precipices,
in reaching Ecclesbourne, and gave the alarm to the coast guard, who
immediately put off in a galley to the rescue of those who remained on a ledge
of the cliff. Fortunately, the perilous situation of the party was seen by
persons from the Groyne, and a boat was immediately launched from the fish
market, and the crew succeeded in taking Lady Hampson and her daughter, and the
tutor on board. Owing, however, to the inexperience of the boatman, the boat
was upset on nearing the beach, and the whole party immersed in the water. The
young lady was, by the receding waves, likely to have been carried out to sea,
had not a person run in up to his waist in the water to her rescue. The whole
party ultimately got safe on shore.
In 1851 the
widowed Lady Hampson is found visiting the
