Wimpole is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, England, about 8+1⁄2 miles (13.7 km) southwest of Cambridge.
On 1 April 1999, following a parish boundary change and a referendum of local residents, the village name was simplified to Wimpole.
It contains the family tombs of some of its residents, such as the Earls of Hardwicke, and a stained-glass window commemorating Thomas Agar-Robartes, eldest son of Thomas Charles, 6th Viscount Clifton and Mary, Viscountess Clifton of Lanhydrock, Bodmin, Cornwall.
However, it was actually founded by the previous owner of the estate, Sir William de Staundon (MP, Master of the Grocer's Company, and Lord Mayor of London in 1392 and 1407) in c.1390.
Both the church and chantry were remodelled in Neo Gothic style in the mid 19th century, and then restored again straight after the Second World War, in 1993/4 and in 1997.
