In 1704, Sir William bought the lordship of the manor of Tring and built
Tring Park.
The Gore Memorial Sir William Gore of Tring Park and his wife Elizabeth. Gore was Lord Mayor of London and a successful statesman until he was forced from office on charges of corruption.
Church of St Peter & St Paul There was a church recorded at Tring in the Domesday Book of 1086 but most of the attractive building we see today is a product of the 15th century. The church was rebuilt in the 13th century. The 13th century building was enlarged in the 14th century when the striking west tower with its external stair turret was built. The nave, south porch, south aisle, clerestory and chancel are all products of the 15th century. |
