Ampthill, National Register of Historic Places plantation in Cumberland County, United States.
The brick addition to the original clapboard house created the present Ampthill structure, located near the James and Willis Rivers in Virginia.
Thomas Randolph received the land grant in 1722 and sold it to Robert 'King' Carter, the wealthiest landowner in Virginia at that time.
Carter Henry Harrison drafted the Cumberland Resolutions at this property, marking its role in Virginia's early political development.
The plantation underwent restoration in 1999 and functions as a bed and breakfast while maintaining its original glass windows and architectural features.
Thomas Jefferson designed plans for the brick addition to the manor house in 1815, though construction did not begin until twenty years later.
