[6] In 1689, Sir John gave it as a marriage settlement to his daughter Elizabeth and her husband Charles Robartes, 2nd Earl of Radnor.

They listened to speeches by local politicians including Charles Yorke, 4th Earl of Hardwicke, and dinner was served for 26 people.

Over the centuries many notable architects have worked on it, including James Gibbs (between 1713 and 1730), Henry Flitcroft (around 1749), John Soane (1790s), and H. E. Kendall (1840s).

[15] Wimpole Hall's grounds, enclosed in 1302,[2] were laid out and modified by landscape designers such as George London and Henry Wise (1693–1705), Charles Bridgeman (1720s), Robert Greening (1740s), "Capability" Brown (1767), and Humphry Repton (1801–1809).

[16] Bridgeman's formal grand avenue sweeps away from the south front of the house for two and a half miles, in contrast with the remainder of the park which was "naturalised" by Capability Brown.

In the grounds are a chain of lakes (1695–1767), St Andrew's church (1749),[17] a home farm (1792), a walled garden (18th century), and a stable block (1851).

[21] In the gardens, a group of five vases[22] and a copy of the sculpture Samson Slaying a Philistine are listed Grade II,[23] as are the steps to the west of the hall[24] and the wall and railings to the south.

[31] Like many other estates managed by the National Trust, a range of organised events and less formal access arrangements now use Wimpole Park.

In 2013, a national partnership between the Trust and parkrun led to the establishment of a free, weekly timed 3.1 miles (5.0 km) run around the park, with over 200 participants every Saturday morning.

[citation needed] In December 2019, the National Trust farm hosted the trial of a robot, known as Tom, that maps weeds with absolute precision.
