The Faringdon Collection was started by the 1st Lord Faringdon, a financier of exceptional skill and ability, who had acquired Buscot in 1887. He is Lord Faringdon's great-grandfather. The collection is the result of collecting work of art by the Lords Faringdon for over a century. The present Lord Faringdon keeps the dynamic in the collection by acquiring works of contemporary artists. Just a few names: Rembrandt, Reynolds, Rubens, van Dyck, Murillo, Burne-Jones, Rossetti...

The collection is on display at Buscot Park and in London at Brompton Square SW3.

The gardens have much to offer such as the former kitchen garden, today the Four Seasons garden, the Pete Water Garden (designed by Harold Peto), Woodland Avenues, the Little Lake, the Parents Walk with double borders, the Theatre in the East Pavilion...
