Interesting Historical Facts or Connections:
From the following website: http://www.stoweninechurches.org.uk/page10.html 'Wyndham House was used as a school for Army Padres. Prior to this on 26th February 1935 in a field below Upper Stowe radar was demonstrated for the first time in Britain. Robert Watson Watt and Arnold Wilkins showed that aircraft could be detected by bouncing radio waves off them. It was radar, more than any other invention that saved the RAF from defeat in the 1940 Battle of Britain. A memorial to the Birth of Radar can be seen on the Northampton Road(B4525) near Litchborough.'
