About

THE HOUSE

Wilton House has been the seat of the Earls of Pembroke since the 1540s and is still very much a family home.  It offers visitors 17th century interiors, a world famous art collection and sculpture gallery, and rooms full of over 460 years of Pembroke family history. Since 1544, when the buildings and land were granted by Henry VIII to Sir William Herbert, Wilton House has been inextricably linked to the political and artistic circles of England, whilst at the same time providing employment and homes for estate workers. This pattern continues today. The 17th Earl initiated a major programme of restoration and improvement, a task which the current Earl continues.
