A LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER & CEO
Welcome Aboard!
I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the latest issue of Jumpjet’s own magazine –
Jump. Like many self-promoting magazines (be they airline or hotel), this is yet another way in
which we can let you know what’s going on at Jumpjet, as well as bring interesting ideas and
travel-related thoughts to you.
Our recent online marketing push confirmed our market is out there and we expect to launch
flights in 2015. While Jumpjet does not own or operate any aircraft, we do function in many
ways like a hybrid airline so we have many of the non-flying components of a traditional airline
set in place.
Flying in a private jet is a wonderfully stress-free experience. To be able to do it at an affordable
level is something that we hope will influence global travel for many years to come.
Whether you heard about us through Indiegogo, a media interview or a simple Google search, I
want to extend a warm welcome to you and I look forward to seeing you on a Jumpjet flight in
the coming year.
Sincerely,
Will Ashcroft

THE FALCONS… 2000, 5X,
7X and now 8X.
When you walk towards a Falcon aircraft there is an instant distinction from any aircraft on the line. It’s
not just the three engines but the width and profile of the aircraft that allow it to stand out in a stable of
luxurious “people-movers”. However, step inside one of their aircraft and there is no comparison. One of
the first things that will hit you is the width and height of the cabin. Step inside the all-new 5X and you are
instantly transformed into a time machine that blends the most modern of amenities with the taste and
application of any Architectural Digest contemporary masterpiece. Pass through the entrance and…
While other manufacturers seems hell bent on creating a men’s club in the sky, the all new Falcon line up of
aircraft take into account the end user’s flair and passion for travel in a private aircraft. The ability to leave
London and arrive in New York nonstop or arrive in Dubai directly from Geneva is all there. Some say that
Falcon’s marketing line should be akin to “Your destination, your world”.
Another unique feature of the Falcon line of aircraft is the surprising speed and runway length options.
Falcons are best known for having three engines, but the 2000 and 5X have only two engines. To many who
ride in the back of a private jet, the finite details of performance are often not as important as the speed of
the WIFI. But what Falcon has considered is that many of the places the customer wants to get to do not
always provide the longest of runways. Take the Falcon 7X for example. When parked next to a
Gulfstream V, the Falcon dwarfs the Gulfstream, yet the 7X can land on the shortest of jet-capable
runways. This translates to: leave London at 9:45am, arrive San Tropez at 11:50am, and arrive at your
hotel at 12:15pm. Whoever says “all jets are the same” has clearly never flown in a Falcon jet.
“You could not drag me screaming and kicking from my beloved Gulfstream!”
Critics have long complained about the three engines, but Falcon has not only made those three engines
efficient but has done so in such a manner that both critics and competitors are having to hold their
criticism under their breath rather than shout it from the rooftops. We spoke to one owner who was a lifelong
Gulfstream user: “You could not drag me screaming and kicking from my beloved Gulfstream! I owned
a III and a IVSP, and just when I was going to upgrade to the 550, I had a ride on a friend’s Falcon 900EX. I
was so impressed with the width and layout of the aircraft, but what really made me go to the Falcon
dealership was that we landed at a strip right near our ranch that our Gulfstream could not land on. That
was it. I was sold, and today we have a 7X. We travel to London at least five times a year and that is
important because the Falcon can do major cities as well as Farnborough, which for working trips is key for
us. We do The Bahamas; Meeker, CO; and Hawaii to name just a few. Whether it’s with the family or for
work, I just love this thing. I would say as far as what cost-to-operate is, we are slightly under what the
Gulfstream’ s cost, but with many more airport options.” – Chester is the chairman of a $9 Billion-a-year
parts consortium with plants and offices in fourteen countries.

We are extremely proud to have Actor and Philanthropist Richard Dreyfuss as our first featured profile in
our new Feature series. Richard was born in Brooklyn in 1947, and grew up in Los Angeles. He made
waves with his role in the film American Graffiti and hits like Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third
Kind followed, along with an Oscar for The Goodbye Girl. Drug addiction derailed his career, but Dreyfuss
made a comeback in the 1980s. In addition to acting, he is a vocal advocate for individual civic rights. He
was born Richard Stephen Dreyfus—he added the second 's' later in life—in Brooklyn, New York on
October 29, 1947. Dreyfuss spent his early childhood in Bayside, Queens before moving to Los Angeles at
age 9. He attended Beverly Hills High School with Rob Reiner and Albert Brooks, and acted in community
plays as a teenager. Dreyfuss briefly attended San Fernando Valley State College—now California State
University, Northridge—but was booted after starting a contentious argument with a teacher. Because he
registered as a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War, he spent two years fulfilling an alternate
term of service as a hospital clerk. When his time was up, he found an agent and began appearing in TV
sitcoms like Bewitched and Gidget, as well as performing in Broadway and off-Broadway plays.
Dreyfuss won an Academy Award
for best actor for the romantic
comedy The Goodbye Girl. He was
just 29, and, at the time, the
youngest actor to ever receive the
honor. His first production credit
came the same year with The Big
Fix.
Dreyfuss' first film role was an uncredited part at the end of Valley of the Dolls, followed by a single line
in The Graduate in 1967. The next year he nabbed a more substantial role in The Young Runaways. After
portraying Baby Face Nelson in 1973's Dillinger, his breakout performance came in the hit American
Graffiti, which earned him a Golden Globe nomination for best actor.
His star was rising, and the mid-1970s saw Dreyfuss in a series of hits. He appeared in The Apprenticeship
of Duddy Kravitz, which was the highest grossing Canadian film of its time. Steven Spielberg contributed to
Dreyfuss' rapid rise to fame by casting him as the cocky shark expert in Jaws, and then as a lineman who
sees a UFO in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Then in 1978, by this time, Dreyfuss had become known
as a party boy, heavily into alcohol and cocaine. In 1982, he crashed his car into a tree, and was arrested
for possession of cocaine and prescription pills. Felony charges against him were dropped after he
successfully completed rehab, but his career took several years to rebound. He worked sporadically until
his comeback performance in the 1986 movie Down and Out in Beverly Hills, and with additional hits like
Stakeout, Always with Holly Hunter and What About Bob, he made his way back to stardom.
In 1995, Dreyfuss was nominated for both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for his performance in
the musical drama Mr. Holland's Opus, but his film career began to fade. He turned to television, and in
2001 he produced and acted in a TV series, The Education of Max Bickford. Although it was well-received
by critics, the show only aired for one season.
More recently, Dreyfuss portrayed Vice President Dick Cheney in Oliver Stone's film W, about the life of
George W. Bush, and appeared on the TV shows Weeds and Parenthood. While continuing to act, Dreyfuss
has also become politically active and spends his time championing individual rights. He appeared in a
2007 documentary on youth voting, 18 in '08, and encourages teaching American history to children in
elementary school.

At Jumpjet we have a strict VIP security protocol that allows the VIP to enjoy their privacy and ensure
that the individual we are talking to is who they say they are. If all of our celebrity calls were to be
believed, then we have had calls from Justin Bieber, Marilyn Monroe, Steve McQueen, Tom Hanks and
Michael Schumacher. So when a person called representing that they were Richard Dreyfuss, they got
the same screening treatment that any would-be celebrity would go through. Brett Ross, head of
Member Services at the time, called saying he had received a call from the personal assistant of Richard
Dreyfuss and, the fact that Richard is his favorite actor, he could not in good faith return the call without
going “gaga” and making a fool of himself and/or Jumpjet.
Brett called Will Ashcroft and asked him to make the call. Will is calm under fire and Brett knew he
would not make a fool of himself. “After I hung up with Brett, I dialed the number and spoke with
Richard’s assistant who put me straight through” said Ashcroft. “ I’m not one to get phased by celebrity
because at the end of they day, they are just people. But I have to say that for me speaking with this
American icon was one of those moments in your life you can never forget. Our long chat started with
introductions and background, just like any conversation between two strangers might take place. “Hi
my name is Richard Dreyfuss”, however, does have a different entry point to it. Immediately my mind
raced to What About Bob, Mr. Hollands Opus, Jaws and what was that “Encounter” movie In my time of
working with celebrities, more often than not they want to make sure you know who they are. In Mr.
Dreyfuss’ case, he was as genuine as the Winter days are short. In fact there was no talk about the
movie business for the first two hours of our call. He loved the idea of Jumpjet and not just what
Jumpjet would do for his own travel but that of Hollywood. But after the discussion about Jumpjet, his
passion took over and, in that passionate yet sinister voice he used in GW when he played Dick Cheney,
Richard was all over the subject of Civics. Yes I will say it again – Civics!”
His Legacy is clear to movie-goers all over the world. But he sees himself in a new light and leaving a
legacy to his grandchildren that is far more prolific than what’s on the screen.
“When I was in school, Civics was a given. Today, it is non-existent in schools. Why is that It is
ridiculous we don’t teach Civics! It is what we are about. If we are going to preach to our kids about
history, then we should be teaching Civics in the classroom!” To be clear, I knew what Civics is, but for
those who have forgotten I looked it up on Wikipedia. [INSERT HERE.] Here is an actor who has been in
some of the highest grossing movies of all time wanting to teach Civics.
Jump – Richard, Civics
RD – Yes, you can’t be critical of a system if you don’t understand the first thing about what you are
actually complaining about. We are dumb in this country about where we came from. We are failing our
children to not educate them about what is important. I have made numerous public appearances to
raise awareness for the need for Civics education in our school system. I started a foundation with
programs that are meant to promote the advancement of Civics education, civic virtue and the role
citizens can play in the success of our country. I spent forty years doing something I loved. But I needed
to do more. It wasn’t that I needed a change. That’s too easy. I wanted to do something I could believe
in and make a difference.
Jump - Anyone reading this is going to ask the question: Are you done as an actor Other greats
continued until their death - why not you
RD – Death is finite isn’t it (he chuckles) but I’m on a mission to bring back something that is amiss in our
schools and without it you can’t understand what our politicians are saying or even defend your civic
rights properly. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We are the first generation of Americans to get a
failing grade in the knowledge of our past.
11

Jump – Are you discounting your legacy as an actor
RD - Not at all. I have spent forty years making movies. I am extremely fortunate and thankful for my history but now it’s time
to do something new.
Jump - Why Civics and not homeless dogs or trash in the oceans
RD - I’ll tell you why. Because, if you can’t know and understand what it is or where you came from, you can’t set a
benchmark for the future, can you Technology has forced our hand to think about tomorrow but we are quickly losing sight
or maybe we have lost sight on what yesterday taught us.
Jump - Are you saying that the 12 million unregistered aliens in this country should all go through Civics class to get their
citizenship If so, what about those already in the system
RD - Yes, yes and yes. Your kids should. My grandkids should. We have to do more about this issue.
Jump - Anyone reading this is going to ask about your history as an actor.
RD - Did you know that Stephen Spielberg was the highest awarded Eagle Scout in America at the time. Kids are not taught in
school about any of the basics to survive today.
In 1995, Dreyfuss was
nominated for both
an Academy Award
and a Golden Globe
for his performance in
the musical
drama Mr. Holland's
Opus.
Jump - I loved Moon Over Parador. Did you enjoy making it as much as I did watching it
RD – I think you were the only person who ever saw that film (he laughs)! It was a lot of fun to make. You know when you
become a successful actor you tend to lose sight of what’s important because everything is given to you. These kids today
make it in the movies and the next thing they make the headlines for poor behavior, but that is because they don’t have the
basics. When you are given a statue that says you are a success amongst your peers, you can’t escape some type of ego.
Jump - You once referred to your father as a “torturer from the Battle of the Bulge!” What did you mean
RD - My father fought in WW2. I knew from his experience war was not for me. In fact, I was a conscientious objector during
Vietnam and served my time in a hospital.
Jump - What was your favorite film to make and why
RD - How can you answer that I have made movies for forty years. I guess the public are really the
ones who decide which are good and which are bad. I suppose being in two of the highest grossing movies in
history says something.

Like Wine Then We Might Just Have
Something For You - VITIS
Today, there are so many places to buy wine, and so many different wines it’s hard to know what is
good and what is worth spending your hard-earned money on. That’s where Vitis.com comes to
the rescue. They bill themselves as “the smarter way to buy wine.” At first that sounds
extremely arrogant but when you dive into the site and see how and what they do, you can quickly
assert that Vitis.com might just be the smartest way to buy wine. Here is how they work.
Vitis.com is daily deal wine site. They specialize in selling one wine at time until it sells out, and then
another wine goes up for sale. Each wine is sold between 30%-70% off the retail price and
Vitis.com guarantees that they have the best price online with delivery. You must be over 21 and
want to sign up and create an account.
We decided to test out Vitis and asked Jamie Magid the Director of Marketing for Vitis.com a few
questions about the company and their vision.
Jump - Certainly there are other sites like Vitis.com out there and many other places to buy wine online and off but
what makes Vitis.com stand out
JM - Simple answer: Quality! We know there are a million places you can buy your wine, but what if you had one
trusted place where the wine was always good
Jump - That sounds a bit too good to be true, don’t you think
JM - In a regular retail shop you might find hundreds of wines and there is no way to know what the characteristics of
each of them is without being a real wine geek. We sell one wine at a time. That allows us to vet each wine we
put up for sale. We taste hundreds of wines a month and choose only the ones our tasting team approve.
Jump - Who are your tasting team
JM - We have two Masters of Wine: Christy Canterbury, MW and Mary Gorman-McAdams, MW that taste, approve
and review each wine before we will put it up for sale. If they won’t drink it, we won’t sell it.
Jump - Sorry if this is naïve but what is a Master of Wine
JM - The Master of Wine is the highest distinction that one can achieve in the wine world. It’s like a PhD for wine and
can take just as long if not longer to attain. It’s because of Christy and Mary that we boast so highly of quality.
We could just sell a wine where we make the most margins but that doesn’t fit our business model. We are
proud that the majority of our business is return clients.
Jump - Do you find it a conflict to review a wine you are trying to sell
JM - That is a great question. No, our reviews are not based on a point scale nor do they mention how great the wine
is or a must have. Our reviews are strictly educational. We tell you what you can expect from the nose of the
wine to the taste, that way you can make an educated decision. After all, you know your tastes better than we
do.
16

Jump - Who is Vitis.com for
JM - Everyone. We have some customers who really know their stuff, and others who just want to learn and enjoy a
great bottle of wine.
Jump - Does every wine come with a recipe and cheese pairing
JM - Yes, and a copy comes with your receipt and the wine. We want to create an environment where you can
learn and enjoy buying wine. If we can help you enjoy it at home or with friends and family then we feel we are
doing our part, and we hope that good feeling will bring you back the next time you need wine.
Jump - Do your wines range in price and variety
JM - Drastically. Sometimes we have collectable wines like Bordeaux or Burgundy that normally sell for hundreds of
dollars, and other times we have great inexpensive wines. Our philosophy is we’ll sell it as long as it’s good.
Jump - Is shipping expensive
JM - We try very hard to keep our shipping cost low. In fact, with every order free shipping is available when a
minimum purchase is met - usually around 3-4 bottles.
Jump - Are there States you don’t ship to
JM - Unfortunately, yes. We currently are legally allowed to ship to about 40 states. You will see at checkout if we
ship to your state.
Jump - What’s your secret How can Vitis.com bring these kinds of deals when retail stores can’t
JM - I don’t want to give away all our secrets but I will tell you that the more people who use and love Vitis.com the
better the deals get. Actually that’s another fun part about the site. You can invite your friends to join Vitis.com and
when you do, they’ll get $5 off their first purchase but you’ll get $20 credited to your account when they make
their first purchase. It’s a win-win. You give them something and we give you big thanks.
After speaking with Jamie we thought we would put the site through its paces. We signed up (it literally
took a few seconds) and started shopping. Here is what we got (see image) and we bought four
bottles to get free shipping. Here is the review, cheese pairing, and recipe for the wine we
purchased. $51.96 and three days later we opened the perfectly packaged box and began to enjoy our
purchase from Vitis.com. I have to admit I did feel smarter buying my wine from Vitis than I do going
to a store and pretending to know the difference between a $12 cabernet and $65 Cabernet. Try
them out. You won’t be sorry and what a great way to get a bottle of wine before you fly private! We
just might be working with Vitis.com in the future for our Premier members, so stay tuned.

Flying Funnies…
“Excuse me...I seem to have lost my jet. It’s a big white one with some blue lines on
it.” Actual question from a billionaire at the FBO during the World Cup in Rio. 19

What has one of the longest seasons of any sport, has the highest TV audience in the world and costs about two
hundred million dollars a year to run and has a micro-managing globally-hated boss
If you answered Formula One, you’d be correct. F1 is run by a madman of a mere 81 years old by the name Bernie
Ecclestone. If he were managing the NFL, he would have been fired years ago. If he was the Police Commissioner of
New York, there would be no crime in that city. So how does an old man have so much power of the most expensive
sport in the world
To find out you don’t have to look too far back. Beginning in the 1970s, Bernie Ecclestone rearranged the
management of Formula One's commercial rights. He is widely credited with transforming the sport into the multi
billion-dollar business it is now. When Ecclestone bought the Brabham team during 1971, he gained a seat on the
Formula One Constructors' Association and during 1978 became its President. Since then, he has ruled F1 with an iron
fist. “You can’t afford it Go away!”, “You need what Find someone who gives a damn!”. Few love him but
everyone adores him because, like it or not, if you want to be in F1 you go through Bernie. He’s one of the richest
men in the world, reportedly worth US$6 billion. He’s the guy that bought his daughter the $100 million home in
Beverly Hills formerly belonging to… He turned down our request for an interview and can you blame him He
turned down 60 Minutes.
Along the way, he has made enemies and won admirers - sometimes in the same person - but standing trial on
bribery charges in Munich in August presented him with one of his biggest challenges yet. A challenge that could have
seen him imprisoned for a decade. During the hearing, Ecclestone allegedly paid a German court £60m to end the
trial, in which he was accused of paying a German banker £26m to ensure that a company Ecclestone favored could
buy a stake in F1. Under German law, Ecclestone was able to pay to end the trial.
In the normal business world, any Chief Executive who is the subject of such serious criminal charges cannot hope to
hold on to his position.
Ecclestone is one of the richest
men in the world with a reported
fortune of $5 billion. He’s also
endorsed Hitler and degraded
women.
But this is not the normal business world and Ecclestone is most certainly not your regular businessman. Any Chief
Executive who has (allegedly) referred to women as "domestic appliances" or praised Adolf Hitler for being "able to
get things done" would have been shown the door with haste and sued for millions in the USA, but not Bernie! Why
Probably because of his remarkable achievements, his all-pervasive influence in F1 and, since the sport began trading
as a commodity, his success in making money for his bosses. That last attribute may yet keep him in a job, now that
the criminal bribery case has ended, which was more serious than a related civil case in London's High Court, which
has now been dismissed.
His boss - CVC Chairman, Donald McKenzie - has, before now, told the High Court that Ecclestone would have to be
fired if he was convicted of a criminal offence. There is another case pending - and related - in the United States,
where financial firm Bluewaters has sued him, claiming they were the highest bidder in the sale of F1 in 2006.
Ecclestone's journey began in the 1950s, when he was a less-than-successful racer and then a manager of promising
British F1 driver Stuart Lewis-Evans.
21
When Lewis-Evans died in a fiery accident in 1958, Ecclestone disappeared off the motor racing radar for the best
part of a decade, re-emerging in the late 1960s as the manager of another promising driver, Austrian Jochen Rindt.

Whether Ecclestone foresaw even then the enormous earning potential remains a matter of
conjecture, but he wasted little time in building his influence. In his position as the man who
could exploit F1's commercial rights, Ecclestone persuaded Television companies to buy F1 as
a package, rather than pay for individual races. That guaranteed vastly increased exposure,
ensuring that the sport's popularity grew, at first slowly and then increasingly quickly. The
system he set up endures to this day. In short, the teams grant him permission to run the TV
rights. In exchange, he gives them an annual payment. But, over the last two decades, the
power has shifted, helped by two decisions made by the sport's governing body, run at the
time by Ecclestone's friend and long-time associate Max Mosley. The first, in the mid-1990s,
meant Ecclestone's own company became the rights holder of F1, taking over from FOCA. The
second, in 2000, granted Ecclestone the commercial rights to F1 until the end of 2110 for a
one-off fee of $360m. A lot of money To some, maybe. But F1's global revenues in 2013 were
about $3.5bn.
Ecclestone remains a man of unsurpassed authority in F1. Little goes on without him knowing
about it. Little happens without his approval.
The decisions followed an investigation into F1 by the European Commission, which
concluded that it was a conflict of interest for one body to hold legislative, sporting and
commercial power over the sport. To those in the know, however, the solution changed little
in the running of F1. Mosley was still in charge of the legislative arm, while Ecclestone held
the commercial power. Together, they worked to further their own ends. Ecclestone
benefitted enormously from the new situation, but it arguably led to the 83-year-old's current
predicament. One of the many financial transactions that led to F1's current ownership was
the sale by German bank BayernLB of its 47.2% stake in F1 to CVC in 2006. German
prosecutors believed Ecclestone paid the money to Gribkowsky to steer the sale of F1 to CVC
as it had agreed to retain him as the sport's boss. While the wheels of German justice have
been turning in recent years, some in F1 believe they have detected a dimming of Ecclestone's
powers.
There was the decision to shuffle last year's Grand Prix calendar to accommodate a race that
turned out not to exist, for example. Then there was his failure to prevent the introduction of
a new engine formula, which has gone ahead this year despite Ecclestone's four-year
campaign against the idea. He remains, though, a man of unsurpassed authority in F1.
Whatever the world thinks of Ecclestone and his methods, the fact is he seems to have
effectively scared everyone into thinking he is irreplaceable. 23

$60,000 which is still less than a Tesla. They have a back order of six, so late
2015 is the soonest you can take delivery.
2. Traveling and looking for something to eat Try “Mostly Menus”. Instead
of reviews and some critic being critical, the site mostly touts itself as the
uncritical menu company. You can flip through various menus in cities all
over the country. Great if you are traveling and not sure where you want to
eat. www.mostlymenus.com
3. Hot Tip of the Month: Earthshell Industries. This little company has the
patents to replace plastic bags and styrofoam with a biodegradable product
that is gone in 30 days. They have the highest rating in the world. You can
drop this stuff in the ocean and, “poof”, its gone! Good to keep an eye on
them for sure, especially if you are an investor.

ABOUT PUNTA LEONA
Located on the gorgeous Central Pacific coast
of Costa Rica lies the important nature reserve
of Punta Leona in Puntarenas province. This
reserve is one of the most vital in Costa Rica’s
Pacific sector both from a geographical and
conservation point of view. Punta Leona is
actually home to one of the last remaining
forests that are found in the transitional life
zone between the rainforests of the Southwest
and the dry forests The Punta Leona Refuge.
Created over 25 years ago to protect the region’s
varied flora and fauna, the Punta Leona Refuge is a
300-hectare (750 acres) private nature reserve
mainly consisting of lush primary and secondary
forests. Also functioning as a center for bird and
mammal research, this reserve is the habitat of
over 330 migratory and native bird species. Exotic,
tropical and beautiful, the Punta Leona Refuge was
also the set for a Hollywood movie starring the
famous French actor Gerard Depardieu.
Rarely frequented by tourists, who barely even
know of its existence because of its unique location,
Punta Leona is a fascinating place to visit for nature
lovers, bird watchers and families alike, who are
given a rare insight into the rich biological diversity
of Costa Rica. Home to the rare and
endangered Scarlet Macaw, the reserve is also the
dwelling place of a number of indigenous birds and
animals like the Marbled Wood Quail, the Threewattled
Bellbird, Hummingbirds, Toucans, Spider
Monkeys, White-faced Monkeys, White-nosed
Coatimundis, iguanas and a variety of beautiful
butterflies from the Northwest.
Located near a pristine white sand beach, Punta
Leona has three varied walking and hiking trails, all
of which are easily accessible and perfect for bird
watching. Though a hotel/beach resort actually
operates on this reserve, Punta Leona still manages
to provide tourists with an environment that is both
distinctive and enigmatic. Even if you do not stay at
the hotel, visitors can access this park by paying a
small fee.
Jumpjet will begin service to Costa Rica in the fall of
2015. Until then, we can recommend several
charter companies for you in addition to your
favorite air provider.

$40,000 A Year Gets You A
Great Education And Some
Pretty Hip Alumni. But The
History Behind This Elite British
Boarding School Is Quite
Something.
In the 18 th century, the powerful Temple-Grenville family chose to create an idyllic landscape filled
with temples. Amidst these enchanting gardens, they built the most lavish temple of all, Stowe
House. This temple was so grand that even Queen Victoria was bewildered by its interiors. Filled
with astonishing rooms imitating ancient worlds and classical ruins, the House reflects the
flamboyant and colourful characters of its creators. Ceilings and walls decorated with hidden
messages and mythology hint at the family’s former power and glory.
But wealth and power do not last forever. Excessive spending led to bankruptcy. Extravagant
parties, royal visits and Italian Grand Tours gave way to scandal, intrigue and eventually
abandonment. The richest family in England became the greatest debtors in the world.
In 1922, in the face of demolition, Stowe School saved the building from certain destruction. Unlike
the loss and decline of many English country houses, Stowe House found a new and revived use for
the 20 th and 21 st centuries as a school for boys and girls.

The History of Stowe
From sixteenth-century sheep farmers to nineteenth-century dukes, the
Temple-Grenville family made their name by marrying heiresses and
following their political ambitions. They were able to work their way up the
title ladder and make their mark on north Buckinghamshire with the creation
of Stowe. The history of the Stowe estate is a long one and its magnificence is
still visible today, despite the decline in the family's fortunes. Saved by the
creation of Stowe School in 1923, both the house and gardens are
undergoing long-term restoration, and are visited by thousands of people
every year.
The Origins of Stowe
Inheriting land bought by his family under Elizabeth I, Sir Thomas Temple,
first Baronet of Stowe, attempted to involve himself in the politics of the
nearby county town of Buckingham. It was his grandson, Richard, who began
to build his new house in 1680 on the site of Stowe House today. His
development of the gardens for both practical and ornamental use laid the
foundations of the formal gardens that his son, later known as Viscount
Cobham, eventually expanded.
The Creation of Stowe
Richard Temple, 1st Viscount Cobham, is the member of the family who has
made the most impact on Stowe. The creation of the gardens as a formal
stage set was aided by the foremost architects and garden designers of the
time - Vanbrugh, Bridgeman, Gibbs and Kent. Writer Alexander Pope's visits
from 1724 saw the gardens develop and in 1731 he wrote a poem to the new
style of English gardening, citing Stowe as his prime example. From 1733, his
dislike of the current politics under Robert Walpole led Cobham to retire
from politics. At Stowe, he used the gardens to unleash his opposition to the
government by creating a political landscape full of hidden meaning and a
tirade against his opponents. The sweeping away of the formality of the
gardens by 'Capability' Brown in the 1740s created the landscapes that were
visited by tourists in the eighteenth century and that we still see today.

His son, the 2nd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, had inherited his father's
extravagant tastes. His aim to entertain the new monarch, Queen Victoria,
led him to completely rework the state rooms. This eventually contributed
to the building up of large debts. The Queen arrived with Prince Albert in
early 1845 and stayed for three days. The 2nd Duke's spiralling debts,
particularly due to his love of furniture and art, led to the first auction of
Stowe contents in 1848 where the selling of all the moveable contents raised
a mere £75,000 pounds against his owed £1.5 million. As a result the house
was closed up. His death in 1861 brought the 3rd Duke, his son, back to
Stowe. He tried to restore the family's name and fortune - he consolidated
much of the parkland and building work - and while he was successful, his
early death in 1889 without a son meant that Stowe was once again closed
up.
In the meantime, the eldest daughter of the late Duke, Lady
Kinloss, was twice unsuccessful in her attempts to sell the estate by the end
of the twentieth century. The death of her eldest son at the beginning of the
Great War, and the crippling financial situation her second son found himself
in due to death duties, income tax and a large pension out to his stepgrandmother,
resulted in the property being put back on the market again.
In 1922, after many of the artefacts and removable statues in and
outside the house were auctioned off in the previous year, the house,
gardens and parkland were purchased by a property developer, Harry Shaw,
who intended to donate the estate to the nation. However, since he could
not raise an endowment to accompany the gift, he was forced to sell Stowe
again. The future of the house was under threat of demolition, as so many of
the country's great houses were, following the First and Second World Wars.
In 1922, with the risk of the estate breaking up, the commission set up to
create a new public school, found the money to buy Stowe as one lot from
Mr Shaw. Its future was secure as Stowe School was created. In 1923, 99 boys
enrolled as pupils at the School under the first headmaster, J.F. Roxburgh and
by the time he retired in 1949, the number of pupils had risen to 500.
