==History==
The 19th century house the ''"Wentworths"'' (now the club house for the club) was the home for the brother-in-law of the Duke of Wellington. It was purchased in 1850 by exiled Spanish count Ramon Cabrera. After his death, his wife, née Catherine Vaughn-Richards, bought up the surrounding lands to form what was to become the heart of the Wentworth Estate.〔(Archives Network Wales - The de Morella Collection )〕
In 1912, builder W.G. Tarrant had started developing St George's Hill, Weybridge - a development of houses based on minimum plots based around a golf course. In 1922 Tarrant acquired the development rights for the Wentworth Estate, getting Harry Colt to develop a golf course around ''"Wentworth"'' house. Tarrant developed the large houses on the estate to a similar Surrey formula used at St George's Hill. Development of Wentworth Estate ground to a halt due to the Great Depression in the late 1920s. In 1931 when the banks asked for repayment of a large debenture, Tarrant was forced to declare bankruptcy. The ownership of the land passed to Wentworth Estates Ltd, which came under the control of Sir Lindsay Parkinson & Co Ltd.〔(Books, Research and Information - Arts & Crafts Home )〕
