#National Trust's - Hughenden Manor,berks,uk.
Hughenden Manor is a red brick Victorian mansion, located near High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. In the 19th century, it was the country house of the Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield. Today, it is owned by the National Trust and fully open to the public. It sits on the brow of the hill to the west of the main A4128 road that links Hughenden to High Wycombe.
The manor of Hughenden is first recorded in 1086, when formerly part of Queen Edith's lands it was held by William, son of Oger the Bishop of Bayeux, and was assessed for tax at 10 hides. After his forfeiture, the lands were held by the Crown, until King Henry I of England gave the lands to his chamberlain and treasurer, Geoffrey de Clinton.Clinton, whose main home was in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, had the lands tenanted by Geoffrey de Sancto Roerio, who resultantly changed his surname to the Anglicised Hughenden.After passing through that family, with successive Kings having to confirm the gift of the lands, the manor returned to the Crown in the 14th century. In 1539, the Crown granted the manor and lands to Sir Robert Dormer, and it passed through his family until 1737, when it was sold by Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield to Charles Savage.
After passing through his extended family following a series of deaths, resultant will bequeaths, by 1816 the manor, lands were owned by John Norris, a distinguished antiquary,scholar. Isaac D'Israeli, the father of Benjamin Disraeli, British Prime Minister (1868 and 1874–1880,Earl of Beaconsfield 1876), had for some time rented the nearby Bradenham Manor,on Norris's death in 1845 bought the manor and lands from his executors in 1847,with the help of a loan of £25,000 (equivalent to almost £1,500,000 today) from Lord Henry Bentinck and Lord Titchfield. This was because at the time, as Disraeli was leader of the Conservative Party it was essential to represent a county, and county members had to be landowners.Taking ownership of the manor on the death of his father in 1848, Disraeli and his wife Mary Anne, alternated between Hughenden and several homes in London.
The present house was built towards the end of the 18th century and was of a stuccoed and unassuming design. However, in 1862 the Disraelis had the house remodelled by the architect Edward Buckton Lamb. Lamb has been described as one of the most perverse and original of mid-Victorian architects.Architecturally, he had a strong interest in the eclectic; this interest is very apparent in his work at Hughenden.
Hughenden Manor, the entrance facade.
Under Lamb's hand, classical Georgian features were swept away as he dramatised the house.Lamb worked in a hybrid baronial form of Gothic architecture, with exposed and angular juxtaposing brickwork surmounted by stepped battlements with diagonal pinnacles. The uppermost windows of the thirteen bayed garden facade were given unusual pediments – appearing almost as machicolations. The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner, in his highly critical appraisal of Lamb's work at Hughenden, labels these window-heads as indescribable and Lamb's overall Hughenden work as excruciating.
Pevsner clearly failed to appreciate what the delighted Disraeli described as the romance he had been many years realising while going to say that he imagined it was now restored to what it was before the civil war,As the house was not originally constructed until the middle of the 18th century, almost a century after the Civil War, that scenario would have been difficult.
The house is of three floors. The reception rooms are all on the ground floor, most with large plate glass windows (a Victorian innovation) giving onto the south-facing terrace overlooking a grassy parterre with views over the Hughenden Valley.
The west wing was built in 1910, long after Disraeli's death, when the house was in the ownership of his nephew, the politician Coningsby Disraeli.
Lady Beaconsfield died in 1872, Disraeli in 1881; both were buried in a vault adjacent in the churchyard of St Michael and All Angels Church which is situated downhill from the main house, to the east. The church contains a memorial to the Earl erected by Queen Victoria: the only instance a reigning monarch has ever erected a memorial to a subject. Disraeli had no children; he left Hughenden to his nephew, Coningsby Disraeli. However, as Coningsby was only 14 at the time, his trustees rented out the property until he came into his inheritance in 1888. When Coningsby died in 1936, his widow left Hughenden, and the following year Disraeli's niece sold the house to W H Abbey, who vested it, with the remaining contents and 189 acres (0.76 km2), in the Disraelian Society.

2003 EE FROM WHEELCHAIR NOMAD DIARY...
Jonathon drove our rental car confidentially to the hell-fire cave 150 metres deep, in West Wycombe. The caves were actually tunnels used to extract flint from the gypsum hills and are identified by a stone church style entrance. In the late 1800’s, the hell-fire club used the caves for having parties and intercourse, giving them the name and reputation. “When I was a little girl,” Andrea said, “I’d explore them with a candle, with my brothers. They’d blow my candle out, then run away in the dark. I’d be really frightened. The caves now have electric lights and they’re not nearly as exciting.” From the cave we proceeded up a steep lane, wide enough for a single car, shrouded in leafy gloom by the trees entwining over the roadway. “That’s typical of many of our lanes,” Andrea noted. “The vegetation joins above, creating a tunnel-like effect.” At the top of West Wycombe hill, we enjoyed a sweeping view over the town, and of a new luxury apartment complex. We wandered through a large hexagonal mausoleum, open to the public with statues and the urns of previous manor residents. We then proceeded to the home of the nineteenth century British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, now a national heritage estate, spread over hectares of land, with Hughenden Manor still in use. ...
