Easthampstead Park, originally a Plantaganet hunting lodge and later home to Catharine of Aragon, was subsequently gifted by Charles I to the diplomat William Trumbull. He incorporated the lodge into a new mansion which passed in the family, The Marquesses of Downshire, until 1860 when the fourth Marquess demolished the old house and built a new one in the fashionable Jacobean style. A chandelier of closely related design is illustrated in Rupert Gentle and Rachael Feild, Domestic Metalwork 1640-1820, rev. ed., Woodbridge, 1994, p.183, pl.15.
