It certainly has been touched by greatness throughout its many years. The origins of the liackwooal estate can be traced back to the Ilth century when I lenry dc Braehocf was given license by the King to enclose his wood at "tiagwved" with its valuable deer and timber stock- By 1280 the deer park at I logwoixl hid been created and gifted to William de Braeboef. most likely to protect the deer imported by the Normans from the native species. It is suggested that the name derives from the Saxon word for I lawthorn of which there are nUMCOUri examples at Rockwood. Hackwood is thought to have been gifted by King I len ry VIII to Sir William Paula. the first Marquis of Winchester in the 16th century. He is credited with building the first lodge at Hackwood which enjoyed 100 years of Royal patronage under the ownership of successive Marquis of Winchester until the civil war in 1611. Following the longest >ant in English history. the Marquis of Winchester's palatial seat at Basing castle fell to Oliver Cromwell. When Charles II returned the lands back to the then 6th Marquis of Winchester I later to become the Duke of Bolton) the Marquis chose to build his house on his hunting estate at Rockwood. Many features seen today date back to this time including the impressive parkland and avenues laid out in the French style to provide views from the house to the surrounding countryside. Successive Dukes of Bolton lavished attention and riches on Hackwood I louse. providing many of the glorious features recently restored, of note is the lead equestrian statue of George I presented by the monarch on a visit to Hackwixxl in 1722 and now visible at the north of the house. billowing the death of the sixth Duke without an heir, the Dukedom of Bolton became extinct:the title and estates passed to his daughter and her husband Thomas Orde. elevated to Baron Bolton by George III in 1797. Over the next 50 years the first and second Lord Bolton would create the house in the image we see today. commissioning Lewis Wyatt (nephew of the famous lames Wyatt) to significantly increase the size of the house.creating the giant ionic tetra style portico to the front facade and freestanding portico to the south. The &slums left Hackwixxl in 1850. making way for a line of noteworthy tenants including; Lord Westbury. the Attorney Ikneral and Chancellor of the Exchequer. Charles Hoare. co-founder of the famous bank: the Earl of Wilton and the Marquis Curzon. a retired Viceroy of India. Elizabeth. Queen of the Belgians occupied the east wing of the house after they were evicted from their home in the First World War. In 1920 the King of the Belgians planted a tree on the East Lawn to commemorate the slay of his wife and family at the house. After hundreds of years within the same family. Hackwood Estate was eventually bought by the first Lord Camrose in 1935. lord Carnrose spent significant sums renovating Hackwood House and entertained the rich and celebrated including regular guests Win ton Churchill and Neville Chamberlain. During the First World War Lord Camrose gave the house over to the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps for use as a military hospital. as was the case with many of the great homes in the country. John Seymore. the second Viscount Camrose. inherited the estate in 1950. Ile is credited with the modernisation of Hackwood and considerable replanting and repair work to the estate and Spring Wood following the storms of 1987 and 1990. It is understood that his widow. princess My Khan. mother to the present Aga Khan inherited the estate and continued to reside here until her death in 1997 when the Berry family decided to sell the house, estate and its contents. The present owner has undertaken considerable restoration and modernisation to the property achieving the delicate balance of beautiful historic building with modern palatial home.
