Stoke Park Pavilions are two 17th century pavilions and a colonnade, remaining from one the very first neo-classical buildings in Britain, designed by Inigo Jones. The gardens and 40 ha (100 acres) park are open on a limited basis.

Stoke Park, a former deer park and hunting lodge of Henry VIII, was given in 1629 by Charles I to Sir Francis Crane. Sir Francis had founded the famous Mortlake Tapestry Works in 1619, on request of James I. He commissioned Inigo Jones to design an impressive country house in Palladian style.

In 1886 the house was destroyed by fire, only the pavilions remained. Thereafter the property fell into decay, but was fortunately rescued in the second half of the 20th century by Robin Chancellor, a London publisher. Today it is in the hands of his nephew, Alexander Chancellor.
