Longleat

Elizabethan house situated in Wiltshire between Warminster and Frome; the seat of the Marquess of Bath. Begun in 1568 by John Thynne (died 1580), it was revolutionary in its classic symmetry and simplicity, and allocation of most of the wall to window space. Only the exterior survives intact: the interior decoration is now mainly 19th century. Stables were added by Jeffrey Wyatville (1807–11), and the park was laid out by Capability Brown. The estate contains a safari park, the first of its kind in England.

The library of the house contains four folios of Shakespeare.
