Hardwick House, Tudor country house in Whitchurch-on-Thames, England.
Hardwick House stands on an elevated position along the River Thames, featuring Tudor architectural elements with additions from subsequent periods.
Richard Lybbe acquired the manor from the Hardwick family in 1526, initiating a long period of family ownership that lasted through multiple generations.
The property gained literary recognition as a potential inspiration for Toad Hall in Kenneth Grahame's novel The Wind in the Willows.
The Grade I listed building maintains its private residence status under the ownership of Sir Julian Rose, who inherited the estate in 1966.
Caroline Powys documented the social life at Hardwick House through her detailed diary entries from 1756, recording events in Henley, London, and Bath.
