Stonor Park.

Stonor has been the home of the Stoner family for over 850 years and is situated in one of the most beautiful Chiltern valleys. St. Edmund Campion, martyred in 1581, was as given refuge here to print the pamphlet 'Ten Reasons' that extolled the virtues of the Catholic faith.

Stoner houses a fine collection of art including Old Master Pictures and Drawings, spectacular bronzes, wooden sculpture, and Venetian Globes.
