The Rise and Fall of the Grenvilles: The Dukes of Buckingham and Chandos, 1710 to 1921

By John V. Beckett

This book chronicles the rags-to-riches tale of the Grenvilles, who rose from the gentry to become dukes, making a fortune and building Stowe, one of England's great country houses, in the process - only to come close to bankruptcy by 1850 and eventually lose their title.
