The King's Head, in the market square of the county town of Aylesbury, is an historic coaching inn with a large stable yard dating back to the 1300s. The Great Hall, now the bar, is the oldest section of the building; it is a wattle-and-daub timber construction with wooden-framed windows of fifteenth-century glass with angels bearing shields of the arms of Henry VI and his Queen, Margaret of Anjou, along with those of Cardinal Henry Beaufort, William de la Pole and the Boteler family. The property was acquired in the nineteenth century by Nathan (1840–1915), 1st Baron Rothschild, whose seat was nearby at Tring Park. He commissioned George Devey, who had just built the Pavilion at Eyethrope for Alice de Rothschild, to add a bay and timber arch in 1879–1880. It was given with three decorative equestrian pictures to the National Trust in 1925 by the widow, Rozsika Edle von Wertheimstein (1870–1940), and the family of Lord Rothschild’s younger son, Charles Rothschild (1877–1923).
