Dyrham
Park  
The
National Trust say: "Dyrham Park 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 include kitchen, bells passage, bakehouse, larders, tenants’
hall and Delft-tiled dairy."
