	Waddesdon Manor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Waddesdon Manor is a country house in the village of Waddesdon, in Buckinghamshire, England.
		The towers at Waddesdon were based on those of the Chateau de Maintenon, and the twin staircase towers, on the north facade, were inspired by the famed staircase at Blois; however following the theme of unparalleled luxury at Waddesdon, those at Waddesdon were glazed, unlike the staircase at Blois, and far more ornate.
		The structural design of Waddesdon however was not all retrospective, hidden from view were the most modern innovations of the late 19th century including a steel frame, which took the strain of walls on the upper floors which consequently permitted their layout to differ completely from the lower floors.

		It is located to the south east of the main village of Waddesdon, and is the present home of a branch of the Rothschild family.
