Stowe House East Claydon

Description of Stowe House East Claydon

From Sixteenth Century sheep farmers to Nineteenth Century dukes, the Temple family made their name by marrying heiresses and following their political ambitions. They were able to work their way up the title ladder and make their mark on north Buckinghamshire in an immense and long lasting way with the creation of Stowe. The history of the Stowe estate is a long one and its magnificence is still visible today, despite the decline of the family fortune. Saved by the creation of the famous Stowe School in 1923, both the House and Gardens are undergoing long-term restoration, and are visited by thousands of people every year. State Rooms are open for over 100 days a year to the public, including in term time, and the House is kept busy with housing a school, and being hired out for weddings, events and filming.
