hi,Does some one know where I can find information about Dropmore in Buckinghamshire. I only know it was built in 1792-1794 by Samuel Wyatt for Lord Grenvilele, prime minister of George III. And the house burnt down in 1990. Thx in advance. With kind regards, ipflo |

Dropmore House and the surrounding estate was built on land purchased by William Wyndham Grenville in 1792. Grenville (born 25/10/1759, died at Dropmore on 12/1/1834) led a varied political life as MP for Buckinghamshire, Leader of the House of Lords, Speaker of the House of Commons, and even Foreign Secretary before becoming Prime Minister from 1806-1807.
