Stowe House, Buckinghamshire

You can help us restore Stowe for the nation

We would like to thank our supporters and members of the public who have recently helped us raise £320,000 to the restoration of Stowe’s majestic Music Room.

Situated between the Marble Saloon and Large Library, the Music Room has retained its original usage as a space for entertaining and concerts. The exquisite decorations on the ceiling and walls are the laborious work of Vincenzo Valdre and were completed after 1781. The room requires further research followed by a combination of conservation, repair and specialist cleaning, work that will commence soon and be completed by August 2012.

We are still seeking to raise additional funds towards the cost of completing essential repairs, the restoration of the Egyptian Hall and other rooms as well as the installation of a dedicated interpretation centre in the basement to welcome visitors to the house.
