Built from the locally quarried Ham Hill stone, the house was a symbol of Sir Edward’s power and wealth. It was built on a grand scale with turrets, obelisks, shell niches, pavilions and walls of glass. Set in the beautiful village of Montacute, this magnificent home is a masterpiece of Elizabethan Renaissance architecture and design.
Today, the house, its garden and park retain an extraordinary power over the landscape.
