The civil parish is called Wingrave with Rowsham within the Aylesbury Vale district and incorporates the hamlet of Rowsham. Around the recreation ground and in other parts of the village are many houses and cottages of varying sizes, constructed in Tudor Revival style, erected by Hannah de Rothschild in the 19th century. These houses, which display her personal cypher 'H de R' were homes for estate employees. They remained part of the Mentmore Estate until well into the 20th century and are very sought after today, commanding a very high price.
Wingrave Manor, also known as 'The Old Manor House' is a Victorian half timbered pastiche of nearby Ascott House. Like many of the village's cottages it too was built by Hannah de Rothschild in 1876. Why she built a large house barely two miles from her own home Mentmore Towers, one of the largest mansions in Buckinghamshire, can only be the subject of conjecture. The design of the house while similar to Ascott, does not have the same lightness of touch as Ascott, so it is unlikely to have been designed by Ascott's architect George Devey. The Rothschild family do not appear to have ever lived at Wingrave, as the house was soon let to the Stewart-Freeman Family who enlarged it in 1885 and eventually purchased it in 1898.
It was the last Stewart-Freeman daughter, Mary Eveline, Countess of Essex, who was divorced from the Earl of Essex, who leased the house, to the exiled Czechoslovak government. They leased it as a residence for the employees and families of the Private Office of President Benes called the Chancellery. During this time the President Dr. Edward Bene lived at The Abbey in nearby Aston Abbotts, and his Military Intelligence of the exiled government lived at Addington House in nearby Addington, near Winslow. The offices of the Czechoslovak Government in Exile were at various locations in London.
