    Waddesdon Unveils 2021 Programme

    Life-sized elephants, painterly images of beautiful roses, the kitchen where Queen Victoria sent her own chef to learn and unseen paintings by Gustave Moreau – Waddesdon announces its 2021 programme Emerging from the gloom of 2020, next year looks rosier. Not least because Waddesdon’s 2021 season includes the second instalment of Nick Knight’s Roses from my Garden, a series of superb large-scale still life images with echoes of artists like Brueghel and van Huysum, yet wholly contemporary, extended from 2020. Also, from February, the history and secrets of the Manor’s kitchen and the people who worked in it will be revealed in a fascinating new display, while an exhibition of Gustave Moreau’s watercolours that have not been seen in public for 115 years is sure to be a highlight of summer. History of the Manor Kitchen 3 February – 7 March Manor Restaurant As a summer retreat from London and a magnificent setting for weekend house parties, Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild’s Waddesdon was the last word in luxury and refinement, not least through what was served from its cellars and large kitchen. Guests included Queen Victoria and her son, the Prince of Wales (and future King Edward VII). In 1891, just 24 staff ran the house, but this number would double when the Baron was entertaining and his French chef and Italian pastry-chef came down from London. Such was their artistry in the kitchen, that Queen Victoria sent her own chef to learn from Ferdinand’s after her visit in 1890. Waddesdon – A Rothschild House & Gardens, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP18 0JH England www.waddesdon.org.uk When the house was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1957, the Manor Kitchen was converted to a tearoom.

    4 Archaeological & Historical Development

    Wendover Historic Town Assessment Draft Report 4 Archaeological & Historical Development 4.1 Prehistoric period (c.10,000 BC – AD 43) Evidence for the prehistoric period in Wendover has been limited to chance finds, while a greater number of artefacts have been collected during fieldwalking projects in fields around the town. A number of Neolithic flint flakes have been recovered at locations including south of Rowborough Copse and north of The Hale (HER 0222900000). Two Neolithic flint axes were found in gardens at Elthorne and at Cobblershill Farm Cottages (HER 0015100000). Neolithic flints found in the garden of 13 Pound Street (HER 0096000000). In the surrounding landscape evidence is more abundant. Wendover is in close proximity to the Chilterns scarp, one of richest areas of surviving visible prehistoric monuments in the South East. One of the earliest sites was found at Wendover Woods with the discovery of Mesolithic stone tools, (HER 0571902000). At nearby Halton Camp there is a possible Neolithic long barrow (HER 0223000000). On Bacombe Hill, there are two unexcavated barrows dating to the Neolithic/Bronze Age (HER 0001100000). A number of late prehistoric flint flakes and tools were found on the ground surface around the monuments. On Boddington Hill overlooking Wendover, there is also more substantial evidence for later prehistoric settlement in the form of a late Bronze Age or early Iron Age hillfort (HER 0415000000). This scheduled ancient monument is a univallate enclosure, measuring approximately 500m x 200m. Situated on the promontory of the hill, the site has a commanding view of the Vale of Aylesbury to the north and the Wendover valley to the south.

Lionel was a keen and talented photographer whose collection of plates, a gift to The Rothschild Archive from his family, is one of the most extensive to survive in the UK. On his return from an Italian honeymoon, Lionel made a speech of thanks for their wedding gift to his parliamentary constituents of Mid Bucks revealing his dedication to his hobby and his eagerness to share its results with others: I must thank you for a very pleasant four weeks’ holiday which I have had in Italy, but I want to tell you that during those four weeks I was not idle, for I managed to take a camera with me, and I took a great many coloured photographs.
