==Present day== Dorothy de Rothschild died in 1988 leaving the estate and Pavilion to her husband's great nephew, [[Jacob Rothschild, 4th Baron Rothschild]]. The Pavilion, the private home of Lord Rothschild, is the only one of the Buckinghamshire Rothschilds seven houses to remain in Rothschild hands. The gardens continue to be developed and maintained, growing vegetables, fruit and flowers for the estate. The walled garden was redesigned by [[Priscilla Mary Rose Curzon|Lady Mary Keen]] in 1990.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gardening/gardens-to-visit/the-very-private-eden-of-eythrope/|author= Elfreda Pownall |title= Inside the Rothschild's family garden: Eythrope (The Telegraph 19 September 2015) |access-date=2015-09-28}}</ref> Keen created several gardens at different levels within the four acre walled garden. These included a large vegetable garden, a herb garden, Mediterranean pot garden, rose garden and a long late flowering herbaceous border which runs as an artery through the gardens. A large Victorian glasshouse recreated on the foundations of an earlier glass house is used for the forcing of early cherries. Five further glasshouses are used for a variety of flowering plants and succulents and, in the summer, for growing several varieties of tomato.
