	Wingrave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Around the recreation ground and in other parts of the village are many houses and cottages of varying sizes, constructed in neo-Tudor style, erected by Hannah de Rothschild in the 19th century.
		Why she built a large house barely two miles from her own home Mentmore Towers (one of the largest mansions in Buckinghamshire) can only be the subject of conjecture.
		The design of the house while similar to Ascott, does not have the same lightness of touch as Ascott, so is unlikely to have been designed by Ascott's architect George Devey.

		Eythrope was something of a deviation from his usual style, it is a mixture of his usual Jacobean coupled with French renaissance in a low style of Waddesdon, especially noticeable on the concave roof to the round tower, and the gable on the garden facade which are particularly reminiscent of Waddesdon.
		The house is the last of the Buckinghamshire Rothschild houses, to remain in Rothschild hands.
