The late Lord Beaconsfield: Hughenden Manor, High Wycombe, the seat of Lord Beaconsfield, (1881). View of the Buckinghamshire 'country house' of British Conservative politician and writer Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield (1804-1881) who twice served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. 'His style of living was comparatively simple, and at Hughenden, though he and Lady Beaconsfield took great delight in the beautiful woods which surrounded them, there were no appliances for field sports. Lord Beaconsfield neither kept hunters [ie horses for hunting] nor preserved game, leaving it to his tenants to supply him at their own discretion'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
