Visit to Claydon House, Buckinghamshire
16 September 2021
Claydon House was built for the 2nd Earl Verney in the 18th century to rival his neighbour, Earl Temple of Stowe. The simple exterior hides a lavish interior decorated with exotic designs and exceptional Rococo carvings.
A niece who inherited the building, and a lot of debt, promptly pulled down two thirds of the house, including the ballroom and rotunda, but the surviving wing is still very grand and fascinating.
Our group will have a private tour of the house when it is closed to other visitors. Members can book via the booking form sent out with our Newsletter.
