What has been built here involved ten architects, and unbuilt designs were provided by a further three, amounting to an architectural development rarely seen outside royal patronage; but in fact the least active period of this development can be found at a time when Cliveden had a royal tenant, Frederick, the Prince of Wales.
The present house was built in 1849-51 to the designs of Sir Charles Barry, architect of the Palace of Westminster.
The owners of Cliveden who have most contributed to its present appearance are: the 2nd Duke of Buckingham, the 1st Earl of Orkney, the 2nd Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, the 1st Duke of Westminster and three generations of the Astor family.

Paradox was purchased as a yearling by trainer John Porter and sold after a good trial to Hugh Lupus Grosvenor (1st) Duke of Westminster, for a tidy profit of over £5,000.
Always a difficult ride, and later vicious, Paradox had a habit of stopping as soon as he reached the front in his races: he was able to hang on to win the 2,000 Guineas by a nose, but lost by a head to Melton in the Derby.
