Henry Bathurst, 2nd Earl Bathurst
In 1771 the construction of Apsley House was started. A neo-classical facade made of brick with five bays. It had large light and airy sash windows and in the centre of the house a large sweeping circular staircase of exquisite design. The house was remodelled by the 1st Duke of Wellington when he was Prime Minister between 1828 and 1830, when it was encased in Bath stone. But Lord Bathurst sold the house to the south of Hyde Park, also known as no.1 London removing his estates to the country as befitted a fox hunting Tory. The Earl used the proceeds to invest into more acreage at Cirencester Park which was planted with trees for landscaping and hunting.
