Corsham Court, Wiltshire, home of Lord Methuen, c1880.
Corsham Court, Wiltshire, home of Lord Methuen, c1880. The manor of Corsham Court was in royal hands supposedly from the days of Ethelred the Unready until the reign of Elizabeth I. The house was built in the 1580s by Thomas Smythe and passed into the hands of the Methuen family in the mid 18th century. The house and gardens were remodelled by Capability Brown in the 1760s, representing probably his most important commission after Blenheim Palace. A print from A Series of Picturesque Views of Seats of the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland, edited by Reverend FO Morris, Volume II, William Mackenzie, London, c1880. Wood-engraved plates after paintings by Benjamin Fawcett and Alexander Francis Lydon.
