| Hughendon Manor became the home of Benjamin Disraeli after he married Wyndham Lewis’s widow in 1839 and is now the property of the National Trust. It is here that he started his political career and it is said that his first big speech was made from the balcony of the Red Lion Hotel in High Wycombe. The house contains many mementoes of Queen Victoria’s favourite Prime Minister. His study is exactly as he left it at the time of his death in 1881. His ghost has been seen on a number of occasions walking the upper floors of the house and he has also been seen at the bottom of the steps leading to the cellar, carrying a bundle of papers in his hand. |
