HARLEYFORD, the seat of Sir William CLAYTON, was formerly a distinct manor, belonging to the family of CAWOOD. It was annexed to the manor of MARLOW, by the first Lord PAGET, who made it one of his seats. His great grandson, William Lord PAGET, resided here during the CIVIL WAR. Harleyford has continued to be the residence of the subsequent proprietors of the manor, most of whom have represented the borough of Marlow in parliament. Sir James ETHERIDGE was one of its members during the whole of King William's reign. The old mansion, which was very spacious, was pulled down in the year 1755; and the present house, which stands in a singularly beautiful situation on the banks of the Thames, was then built, after a design of Sir Robert TAYLOR. The booklet "Oxfordshire Brickmakers" mentions Stokenchurch, Watlington,and Wheatley as having brickworks in the 18th century: the big demand for brick did not start until the 19th century.
