Green Park:-

Green Park: (A mile from Halton)is sometimes referred to as just 'Aston Clinton' (the name of the village close by) is yet another former Rothschild home, it had been bought in the early 1850s by Anthony de Rothschild 1810 - 1876 he employed the architect George Devey (who was later to transform Ascott house another neighbouring Rothschild house) Old photographs of Green Park show a sprawling neo-georgian/Italienate house with verandahs, and a large porte cochere.

It was never really lived in after the death of Anthony's widow Louise Montefiore in [[1910]. It then passed to her two daughters, Constance, Lady Battersea and Annie, The Hon. Mrs. Eliot Yorkewho shared it as a holiday home, spending a few weeks together there each summer.

It later became a boys prep school (where Evelyn Waugh began his teaching career]]as a junior master), followed by a brief spell as an hotel. It was finally demolished in the middle of the 20th century.

The local authority then acquired the property with the proviso, that it be used for educational purposes. All that remains today of the Rothschild building at Green Park are the massive lodges in Stablebridge Road, Aston Clinton. The former stables, and some new buildings are now a training centre. Where children come for outward bound courses such as The Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme Adult education courses and conferances etc are held there also.

Coordinate error

Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

{{geodata-check}} The following coordinate fixes are needed for Aston Clinton House. Go to the 1945 layer on Google Earth and you can see the house actually stood about 500 feet further west. The coordinates should be 51°47'39.43"N 0°43'8.86"W. The oval garden that was in front of the house is still there. It is visible in the late-1800s photo on wikipedia. —98.246.156.76 (talk) 01:13, 26 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
