The sumptuous mansion ‘Ascott’
is a half-timbered Jacobean farmhouse that was
greatly altered and enlarged by the de Rothschild
family in the 19th century. It contains a wealth
of paintings, Oriental porcelain and English and
French furniture. The village lies in the Vale of
Aylesbury and has a Saxon church featuring an
unusual galleried crypt. |
