Badminton House in Gloucestershire, England, is perhaps best known as the site where the first game of badminton was played (on a rainy day in 1863), but as the principal country residence of the Dukes of Beaufort its historical importance long predates that event.

Similarly, the 4th Dukeís son, who became the 5th Duke of Beaufort in 1756 when he was only twelve years old, wasted no time in making additions of his own to Badminton when he reached his majority. In his account books for 1782 appears the following entry ìFebruary 23 to Wm France Library Ladder 16 Pounds 11s.î The reference is to the London cabinetmaker William France, Jr., whose father had set up a significant cabinetmaking shop next dooModel or a 54-gun ship.
