Tyringham Hall is a stately home in Tyringham, Buckinghamshire. It was designed by Sir John Soane between 1792 and 1797 for William Praed, a banker and MP for St Ives, and a descendant by marriage of the Tyringham family, which owned the estate for 500 years from 1165. It was later extensively altered and landscaped by Sir Edwin Lutyens in the early 20th century. The estate features formal gardens, a river, a distinctive bridge, and several garden pavilions, and it is noted for being worked on by two of England's greatest architects. In 1909, Tyringham's then owner, Frederick Konig, commissioned architect, Charles G. F. Rees, to carry out substantial alterations to Tyringham Hall. These included the addition of the house's signature copper dome, the refacing of the garden front of the two-storey service wing in ashlar stone and the remodelling of all the main rooms in the French style. In 1940, the house was requisitioned to act as a wartime maternity hospital. After the war it was purchased by the Australia and New Zealand Bank as a weekend club. In 1967, the house was reopened as the Tyringham Naturopathic Clinic. In 2001, Tyringham Hall was discovered to have asbestos and temporarily forced to close. It was purchased by real estate heir Anton Bilton and since 2004 they have invested in renovating Tyringham Hall. A vineyard was established in the grounds of the hall in 2008. It is within the council area of Milton Keynes.
