About Dyrham Park

Built between 1692 and 1704 for William Blathwayt, a senior civil servant under William III, Dyrham Park is a late 17th- and early 18th-century baroque country house set within a deer park on the edge of the Cotswolds in South Gloucestershire.

Construction took place in two stages: the west front was completed in 1692 and the east front in 1704.

The interiors reflect Blathwayt's taste for Dutch fashions, acquired through years of diplomatic work in The Hague.

The National Trust acquired the property in 1961 and has cared for it since.

The house is perhaps best known to film audiences as a location in the 1993 Merchant Ivory production The Remains of the Day.
