House & Family History
For most of the 20th Tyringham Hall was The Tyringham Clinic. In 2001 the Estate was purchased by wealthy real estate heir Anton Bilton and his wife, Lisa Barbuscia-Bilton. In 2002 an application was made to build nine new residential houses in the grounds, with the intent to convert the main house to residential use. Since 2004 the Biltons have spent approximately £10 million restoring Tyringham and returning it to a single-family private residence. The Berkshire County Massachusetts town of Tyringham (incorporated in 1767) was named for Tyringham, Buckinghamshire.
