Dropmore Park, Buckinghamshire

Corporate Estates

Project data sheet

Introduction

Lord Grenville, Prime Minister to King George III bought Dropmore in 1792, when there was only a labourers' cottage on the property and built the existing house.

The house was refurbished to a very high standard by Harold James Partnership, now part of Millard Consulting in 1987. Sadly, a fire in 1990, completely destroyed the east end of the property.

Scope

Millard Consulting undertook some stabilising works in 1991. Since then the house has remained in a state of disrepair until purchased by the present owner.

The current project comprises the complete refurbishment of the main house, dairy and stable courtyard under the stewardship of the English Heritage.
