Brief Description

Stowe House is a Grade I listed house and is the home of an independent school. The House is owned by the Stowe House Preservation Trust and is undergoing restoration. The North Hall boasts a beautiful ceiling by William Kent.

A statue that adorned the North Hall from 1830 was lost but has now been copied and the new Laocoön bronze statue was in place for the grand opening on 31st July 2019. Part of MTA’s brief was to install sympathetic lighting.

“The lighting design shows the ceiling in all its glory and really helps visitors to appreciate the quality of the artist’s work” – Nick Morris, Chief Executive Officer, Stowe House Preservation Trust.
