The Rothschilds and Disraeli in Buckinghamshire
by David Kessler
In the second half of the 19th century the Rothschild family, bankers and financiers, built or acquired no
fewer than seven great houses in and around the Vale of Aylesbury, investing their wealth in the farms and villages around – with
results still visible today.
At about the same time, a little to the south, Benjamin Disraeli, soon to be Prime Minister, was also
moving in. This pamphlet outlines their story.
36-page pamphlet, published 1996.
£3.00
plus £1.00 post and packing (UK).
