Hampden in 1836

Hampden (population in 1831, 286), near Prince’s Risborough. The manor was for centuries in the Hampden family, the male line of which became extinct in 1754. The celebrated John Hampden lies buried in the churchyard ; and there is a representation of the battle of Chalgrave field, in which he received his death-wound in 1643, on the monument of John Hampden, Esq., the last heir male of the family. Hampden house, the former seat of the Hampdens, contains several family pictures, but the individuals whom they represent are unknown. There is a whole-length portrait of Oliver Cromwell.
