Badgemore is a former civil parish, now in the parishes of Bix and Assendon and Rotherfield Greys, in the South Oxfordshire district, in Oxfordshire, England, west of Henley-on-Thames.
William the Conqueror gave Henry de Ferrers a considerable number of manors including Badgemore in Oxfordshire.[1] In the early 19th century the house passed to a Mr Charles Lane[2] and later that century it was acquired by a Mr Richard Ovey, who was High Sheriff of Oxfordshire. In 1884 Ovey commissioned John Norton to re-model and enlarge the house.[3]
Ovey leased Badgemore to Admiral of the Fleet the Earl of Clanwilliam who received a visit from Carola, Queen of Saxony there in April 1905.[4] Clanwilliam died at Badgemore in August 1907.[5] The house is now a serviced office facility within the grounds of a golf club.[6]
On 31 December 1894 Badgemore became a separate civil parish, being formed from part of Henley on Thames, on 1 April 1952 the parish was abolished and merged with Bix and Rotherfield Greys.[7] In 1951 the parish had a population of 172.[8]
