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
[edit]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
[edit]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 £1,294,094 in 2023).[3] Turville Grange was featured in the July 1971 issue of Vogue, photographed by Horst P. Horst.[4]
Ford period
[edit]After the Radziwill's divorce in 1974, the estate was sold to Henry Ford II.
