Large Estate owned by French Marquis - Redmarley (General)

Hi, We've just held a Wedding Dress & Christening Robe Festival in our church in West Sussex and a robe was donated which was used by a nursery maid who married a gamekeeper from "a large estate owned by a French Marquis" in this village in approx 1935.

Does anyone know which estate this is? I am interested as my ancestors, from London, were living in Redmarley D'Abitot in the 1861 census. The men were coachmen, grooms and a postillion. I presume they were working for the owners of a grand house in the village, so I am wondering whether this is one and the same house.

Thanks.
