Philipps House ~ Dinton

Previously named Dinton House, an early 19th century Neo-Grecian country house overlooking the Nadder valley, 8 miles west of Salisbury, Wiltshire. The house was built in 1816 by William Wyndham to the designs of Sir Jeffry Wyatville, replacing a 17th-century house. In 1916 the estate was bought by Bertram Philipps, who renamed the house after himself, then in 1943 gave the house and grounds to the National Trust. The house and its parkland, known as Dinton Park, are Grade II* listed. The house is built of Chilmark stone, a local stone also used for Salisbury Cathedral.
