The 'burials' date from 1874 - 1956 and contain mainly dogs and a few horses or ponies, unfortunately I can find no information on the history of the pet cemetery, or whether all the animals belonged to the same family, the Astors of Cliveden House. It's in the Ilex Grove part of the grounds and sadly is not very well maintained or even sign posted. We just happened across it.
There has been a house on the site at Cliveden, meaning - valley among cliffs, in Taplow Buckinghamshire since 1666. The present house was built in 1851 and is a Grade I listed Italianate mansion. In 1893 the estate was purchased by William Waldorf Astor, 1st Viscount Astor. He became a virtual recluse after the death of his wife Mary Dahlgren Paul in 1894. In 1906 Viscount Astor gave Cliveden and its ground to his son Waldorf on his marriage to Nancy Langhorne. The Astor family remained at Cliveden until 1969 when the house and grounds were leased by Stanford University. The house is now owned by The National Trust and is a Luxury Hotel.
