Owner: The National Trust
Crowned with a balustrade and with fine views over its ancient deer park, Dyrham was built between 1691 and 1702 for William Blathwayt, William III’s Secretary at War and Secretary of State. The rooms have changed little since they were furnished by Blathwayt and their contents are recorded in his housekeeper’s inventory.
There are many fine textiles and paintings, as well as items of blue-and-white delftware, reflecting the contemporary taste for Dutch fashions. Restored Victorian domestic rooms open (and for extended period, see below), including kitchen, bells passage, bakehouse, larders, tenants’ hall and Delft-tiled dairy.
Car park has been relocated to the East Lodge, and a free bus now takes visitors to and from the house, thereby restored to its original, car-free, setting. Audio tours of the house, colour souvenir guidebook and CD-Rom available to purchase.
