51°26′51″N 2°12′15″W / 51.4476°N 2.2042°W / 51.4476; -2.2042 Hartham House was a country house at Hartham, Wiltshire, England, standing next to Hartham Park, north-west of the town of Corsham.[1] During the Tudor and Civil War periods it was owned by the Duckett family, among whom were several members of parliament for the rotten borough of Calne.[2]

George Jackson (1725–1822) married into the Duckett family and was described as "of Hartham House" when he was created a baronet in 1791.[3]

The property was eventually sold to the Methuen family, who had also acquired Hartham Park.[4] In the mid-1800s, Hartham House was demolished and only the Hartham Park house now stands.
