Wotton House
Wotton House, or Wotton, the manor house in Wotton Underwood (Buckinghamshire, Britain), was rebuilt between 1704 and 1714 to a design very similar to that of Buckingham House. The manor house had since the Norman conquest been the principal seat of the Grenville family, a notable member of whom was George Grenville, the politician who served as Prime Minister between 1763 and 1765. Later radically altered, the house is considered a very fine example of English Baroque. The architect is unknown but John Fitch has been suggested.[citation needed]
A fire destroyed the content of the house in 1820, and John Soane was employed to restore it. He reduced its height, giving an impression of increased width, and made inventive use of the existing rooms, in particular creating a two-storey, top-lit entrance hall.
