Weston Park
With a National Art Pass you get
Perfectly situated at the heart of 1,000 acres of park landscaped by Capability Brown, Weston Park is home to an internationally important collection of fine art, tapestries, ceramics, silver and furniture.
Built in 1671 for Lady Elizabeth Wilbraham, the house was inherited in the 18th century by Sir Henry Bridgeman, who commissioned Capability Brown to landscape the surrounding park, and James Paine to alter the house and add a Roman Bridge, a Temple to Diana and a Granary.
Over the years, Weston has played host to many distinguished guests, including Prime Minister Disraeli, King George V's daughter Mary, and the Princess Royal, who spent part of her honeymoon there. The G8 Summit Retreat was held at Weston in 1998.
