For over 800 years, Stonor has nestled picturesquely in the Chiltern hills. The core of the house is medieval but the Stonor family’s Catholic faith saw little building from 1350 until the late-18th Century when the full Georgian front was installed. The 12th Century family chapel stands alongside. The house honours St. Edmund Campion who was harboured by the Stonors and allowed to print a pamphlet against Henry VIII as head of England’s Catholic church in 1581. He was subsequently executed but was declared a Saint in 1970.
