National Trust - Claydon House - PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF DATES
Heritage Open Day: Claydon House, set in peaceful parkland, bears testament to the tenacity and resilience of the Verney family. A simple Georgian exterior hides lavish interiors containing every 18th-century style imaginable; Palladian, Chinoiserie & Gothick fantasy. Demolished and rebuilt twice, Claydon has been home to the Verney family since 1620 and stands today as a symbol of the family’s generational resilience. The Verney’s rose to power through royal favour, then were torn apart during the Civil War.
Broken and plunged into debt, they restored their wealth and political influence during the industrial revolution through wise trade and shrewd marriages. Then, through poor judgement and political overambition, it was all squandered in a single generation.
