Shimpling history

Thomas Hallifax, a London banker, and his family were great benefactors of Shimpling and the surrounding area. They arrived in the early 19th century and purchased many Shimpling properties and farms. Over time they built houses, school, the schoolhouse, the coal house and made extensive renovations to the church. The village is depicted in Thomas Gainsborough’s 1752 work, showing John Plampin in Chadacre Park looking towards Lawshall.
