James Banks Stanhope (13 May 1821 – 18 January 1904)[1] was a British Conservative Party politician.

Stanhope inherited Revesby Abbey in 1823 from his father but did not succeed to the estate until 1842, however, as he was a minor.

[3] In 1843, he commissioned Scottish architect William Burn to redesign the new abbey in a mixture of Jacobean and Elizabethan, also known as Jacobethan.

[5] The estate was passed to Stanhope's elected heir who was his first cousin once removed, the Hon.
