Montacute House And Gardens Somerset.
Montacute House is a late Elizabethan mansion with garden in Montacute, South Somerset.
All parts are maintained by the National Trust. Its Long Gallery, the longest in England serves as a South-West outpost of the National Portrait Gallery displaying a skilful and well-studied range of old oils and watercolours.
A textbook example of English architecture during a period that was moving from the medieval Gothic to the Renaissance Classical, and one of few fine houses to survive almost unchanged from the Elizabethan era, the house has been designated byEnglish Heritage as a Grade l listed building, and Scheduled Ancient Monument. It was visited by 125,442 people in 2013. Designed by an unknown architect, possibly the mason William Arnold, the three-storey mansion, constructed of the local Ham Hillstone, was built in about 1598 by Sir Edward Phelips, Master of the Rolls and the prosecutor during the trial of the Gunpowder Plotters.
The house and its gardens have been a filming location for several films and a setting for television costume dramas and literary adaptations.

TRAVEL SERIES ENGLAND: ELIZABETHAN ARCHITECTURE - MONTACUTE HOUSE,NATIONAL TRUST|TRAVELLER'S NEST NZ
Hi All,
This beautiful masterpiece of Elizabethan architecture of Montacute House was our second Elizabethan house to visit in the National Trust collection.
It was completed in 1601 for Sir Edward Phelips. The house was meant to be a showpiece and statement of wealth, ambition and craftsmanship. The stone mansor definitely achieved this objective.
Sir Edward Phelips was a lawyer during Elizabeth I, first born daughter of Henry VIII. He entered parliament in 1584 and became the speaker of the House during 1601 to 1611.
He is known for trial against Guy Fawkes. He was part of the prosecution team against Guy Fawkes and his fellow gunpowder plotters.
The house has stunning gardens around it.
Inside the house, the library is a lovely room and the gallery. It is so large, that the National Gallery had an exhibition on it of Portraits of Sir Edward Phelips time.
The bed chamber was beautiful, which an exceptional furniture in the room dating from the 16th century
The glass windows in the Great Chamber depicts the coats of arm of families as they married into the Phelips family..beautifully done.
Overall, highly recommended as I love this type of architecture.

Sir Edward Phelips' descendants occupied the house until the early 20th century. Following a brief period, when the house was let to tenants, one of whom was Lord Curzon who lived at the house with his mistress, the novelist Elinor Glyn, it was acquired by the NT in 1927.
