Claydon House

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Claydon House

House in Buckinghamshire, England, 21 km/13 mi northwest of Aylesbury. Claydon was the home of the Verney family from 1463. The present house was built 1752–68, but all that now remains is the west wing, containing magnificent rococo state rooms, including Florence Nightingale's bedroom and museum. She was the sister of Parthenope Verney, and a constant visitor to Claydon. The Verney family gave Claydon to the National Trust in 1956, but continue to live in the house.
