Description: Avington Park. The house in Avington Park dates back to the late C16, but was considerably altered in 1670 by the addition of two wings and a classical portico. The owner of Avington at this time was George Brydges, one of Charles II's courtiers. On the death of George Brydges's son in 1751 Avington Park passed to his cousin James Brydges, Marquess of Carnarvon, who became 3rd Duke of Chandos in 1771. He carried out major alterations in the late C18, and was also responsible for the building of the parish church which overlooks the park 899269. The house is now privately owned and is Grade I Listed.
