Shockerwick House in Bathford , Somerset , England was built as a manor house around 1750 by John Wood, the Elder . It has been designated as a Grade I listed building .[1] [2] Bybrook River valley.
The site was a manor prior to its purchase in 1740, from the estate of Anthony Carew,[3] John Wood, the Elder to design the house and grounds. Thomas Gainsborough was a frequent visitor and painted several canvases in the orangery of the house including that of Edward Orpin, Parish Clerk of Bradford-upon-Avon which is now in the Tate .[4] William Pitt the Younger who was at Shockerwick when he heard about Napoleon 's victory at the Battle of Austerlitz .[2]
In the 1880s the house was bought by Charles Morley the Member of Parliament for Breconshire .[2] Ernest George and Alfred B. Yeates . [1] Henry Pelham-Clinton-Hope, 9th Duke of Newcastle who sold it in 1970 to the W.D. & H.O. Wills tobacco company who used it as a training centre.[2]
