Provenance
Listed in the 1965 Inventory taken at Wimpole in Mrs Bambridge's Study (p. 10). 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.
