Designed by Stephen Marshall Architects LLP, Waddesdon Manor: Windmill Hill is located in Aylesbury, United Kingdom. The Rothschild Foundation has been heavily involved in philanthropy since the 19th century and this Stephen Marshall Architects-designed facility will enable the public to view the extensive collection of Manor, Estate and Family Archives whilst offering a principle centre for study, research and outreach in the fields of the arts, heritage, culture, conservation, the environment and horticulture.

In the 1870s, Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild constructed Waddesdon Manor – a grand residence from which he could entertain hoards of guests – and it is within the Waddesdon Estate that the recently completed Windmill Hill is situated. In 1957, James de Rothschild passed the magnificent property to the National Trust ‘with the intention to preserve the house and its contents in perpetuity’.
