High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Of all the landowners in the Buckinghamshire area, none has had more impact on the landscape than the Rothschild family. When Nathan Mayer Rothschild first arrived in London in the early nineteenth century his priority was to establish his business and to acquire influence. By the time of his death in 1836 he was able to pass a fast growing banking business on to his eldest son Lionel Rothschild (1808-1879). Gunnersbury Park in Middlesex was the first Rothschild country house to be purchased (in 1835), marking the start of a move north and westwards to Hertfordshire and the Vale of Aylesbury. The Rothschilds began to acquire large estates in Buckinghamshire in the 1840s, when an estate was purchased near Mentmore for hunting, and a stud farm and kennels were established. Lionel Rothschild's brother, Baron Mayer de Rothschild, became the first Rothschild to build a house in Buckinghamshire when he commissioned Joseph Paxton to design Mentmore Towers in 1850.
