Summary edit

Description
English: Eythrope Pavilion, from the North Bucks Way Eythrope is a hamlet and country house - the Eythrope Pavilion - located to the south east of the village of Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire. The hamlet name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means "island farm", referring to an island in the River Thame that flows by the hamlet.

This distant view of the Pavilion is all that is visible to the pedestrian from the footpath.

The architect of the Eythrope Pavilion was George Devey (1820–1886), a specialist in lodges, cottages and country mansions, whose distinctive style included the use of tiles and timbers on external walls. A favourite architect of the Rothschild family, he received numerous commissions from family members (as did fellow architect William Huckvale at Tring). The Pavilion was commissioned by Miss Alice Charlotte von Rothschild (1847-1922). When her brother Ferdinand began the construction of Waddesdon Manor in 1874, Miss Rothschild acquired a nearby property at Eythrope where, between 1876 and 1879, she had a park and garden created and Eythrope Pavilion built, near to the River Thame. Because she had suffered from rheumatic fever, she had been advised not to sleep near water because dampness would aggravate her health, so the Pavilion was originally built for daytime occupation only and at nights she returned to Waddesdon Manor. The house was later extended and today looks something of a pot pourri of styles.
