Listed in the 1939 inventory taken at Wimpole under 'Subsequent Additions' (p. 38); listed in the 1965 Inventory taken at Wimpole in the Chancellor's Bedroom (p. 7). Actual date of acquisition not recorded, but probably acquired by George Bambridge (1892 - 1943) and Elsie Bambridge (1896 - 1976), who purchased a largely empty Wimpole in 1938. The hall and contents were bequeathed to the National Trust in 1976 by Elsie Bambridge.
