Turville Grange, seen from the common

Turville Grange is a large detached house in the village of

Turville Heath in the English county of Buckinghamshire. It was built in the late 18th century and expanded and altered c.1890 for a Stephen Smith. It has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since June 1955.[1] A wing to the rear of the house was added by Walter Tapper in the 1900s.[2]

History

In 1904 the estate was bought by Julia Caroline Stonor, the Marquise d'Hautpoul de Seyre.[2]

The wrought iron gates at the Grange were given to the d'Hautpoul's by Queen Alexandra between 1906 and 1908, who was a frequent visitor.[2] In the 1950s Lionel Brett added dormers and a pedimented door surround to accentuate the Grange's Georgian style at the behest of his father, Oliver Sylvain Baliol Brett, 3rd Viscount Esher.[2]

Radziwill period

The 49-acre estate of Turville Grange was bought by Lee Radziwill and her husband Prince Stanislas Radziwill for £55,000 in 1966 (equivalent to £1,089,964 in 2021).[3] Turville Grange was featured in the July 1971 issue of Vogue, photographed by Horst P. Horst.[4]

Ford period

After the Radziwill's divorce in 1974, the estate was sold to Henry Ford II.

Renzo Mongiardino's design for the entrance hall at Turville Grange was profiled in a 2018 article in Architectural Digest[3]
