Facts and practical information

Howbery Park is a 36-ha park located adjacent to the River Thames in Crowmarsh Gifford near Wallingford, UK. Its main feature is an English manor house built in about 1850 by Member of Parliament William Seymour Blackstone. Blackstone fell into debt, largely because of the building costs, which resulted in him spending time in the debtors' prison at Oxford and contributed to the end of his political career. He died in Brighton, never having lived at Howbery Park. ()
