Summary

Description
English: Wilton House East Front. Wilton House has been the ancestral home of the Earls of Pembroke since the C16, and is considered one of England's principal country houses, and stately homes. Built on the site of a medieval monastery after the Dissolution, it was largely completed in 1563; the central porch of the east front seen here, is a survivor of this period. After a disastrous fire, the south front was rebuilt in 1647 by John Webb, with Inigo Jones supervising the internal features. The house was Gothicised by Wyatt circa 1801, who built a cloister in the courtyard, and remodelled the north and west fronts. These exterior Gothic features were largely removed in the C20, and replaced with Classical. The state rooms by Inigo Jones are magnificent, and considered the best surviving C17 rooms in the whole of England. Grade I Listed.
