Tempsford Hall


Tempsford Hall is a country house in Tempsford, Bedfordshire.

The original hall was built in 1769 for Sir Gillies Payne; it remained in the Payne family until 1824 when it was sold to Colonel William Stuart. Following a fire the house was rebuilt in 1898 and in 1933 Kathleen Wynne, who had been born a member of the Stuart family, inherited the house from a distant relative. During World War II it was used by the Special Operations Executive as an agent reception and pre-flight preparation centre. After the War it was acquired by Henry Hales who used it as a clinic until 1964 when he sold it to its present owners, Kier Group.
