Rothschild properties in the home counties

In the 19th century members of the English Rothschild family bought and built many country houses in the home counties, furnishing them with the art the family collected.

In the 20th century many of these properties were sold off with their art collections dispersed.

In the loss of country houses in the 20th century only Aston Clinton was lost.

It was purchased with 4,000 acres (16 km2) by Lionel Rothschild in May 1872 as his principal country residence.

[16] Waddesdon Manor, near to the market town of Aylesbury, was built in the 1870s,[17] Further afield, the Rothschild family owned the Exbury estate in Hampshire, known for the Rothschild collection of rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias, now run by a charity.
