WINCHINGTON-UPPER, (Buckinghamshire) on the W. side of Alesbury, was the manor and seat of the Goodwins, but went by marriage of the heiress to Philip Ld. Wharton (grandfather to the late D. of that name); whose son, Thomas the Marquiss of Wharton, to whom it gave title of Visc. made it his chief seat, and adorned it with several new buildings, which render it magnificent, and made gardens to it, the finest in the Co. with one of the best orangeries in the Km. but the late D. sold it to Sarah duchess dowager of Marlborough.
