The Warneford Place was built in the 17th century in Wiltshire, England and neglected and rebuilt over the years and was owned for over 20 years by Ian Flemming who demolished the old house and rebuilt it.
The house was often empty and neglected. In 1960, the James Bond author Ian Fleming bought the "demolished Warneford Place", and built a new house which he named Sevenhampton Place, incorporating some elements of the original building. He did not move in until the new house was completed in 1963 and spent little time there. He died in 1964, aged 56, and is buried in the Sevenhampton churchyard, along with his wife Ann and son Caspar.
