HISTORIED “WILTON,” GEM OF ENGLISH DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE  

FEW of the great country houses of England have longer history than  

Wilton, seat of the Herberts, Earls of Pembroke and Montgomery. This  

great mansion, situated three miles from Salisbury in Wiltshire, stands upon  

the site of monastery which flourished during the days of King Alfred  

(871-901), and it was there that he defeated the Danes. In the eleventh  

century the wife of Edward the Confessor was educated at Wilton.  

At the Dissolution of the Monasteries, however, King Henry VIII gave  

Wilton to William Herbert, who later became the Ist Earl of Pembroke. The  

latter pulled down the monastery and commissioned the great painter, Holbein,  

to prepare designs for great private house, which was completed in the  

1550’5. Soon after, Wilton House became centre of the arts and of learning,  

and among the many men of distinction who visited the great mansion were  

Sir Philip Sidney, Spenser, Massinger, Marlowe, Ben Jonson, Beaumont, Izaak  

Walton, George Herbert. Greatest of all, however, was Shakespeare, who  

was close friend of the 3rd Earl of Pembroke and was frequent visitor  

to Wilton, and it was there that the first performance of “As You Like It”  

was given. In 1573 Queen Elizabeth stayed for three days at Wilton, and  

the lock of her hair which she presented to her hosts is still be fen  

“The Tempest’' is believed by some scholars to have been inspired by the  

shipwrecking oil the Bermudas of an expedition to the New World financed  

bv the 3rd Earl of Pembroke. rebuilt  

In 1647 most of the original house was destroyed by fire, but was iebu  

by the architect Inigo Jones and completed by John Webb. rtnthic  

The interior is no less magnificent, with its luxurious state rooms, Goth  

hall, library, gallery and its famous Double Cube romm This superb roo  

which measures 60 feet long, 30 feet wide and 30 feet f. an ls in  

the beauty of its proportions. Its white walls are divided into pan  

which hang ten fulHength family portraits by Van Dyck and vast portrmt  

by the same artist occupies the whole wall at one end th ® OOI P;  

ceiling was painted by de Critz in 1650, and the furniture, in red velvet and  

gold, was specially designed by William Kent. Elsewhere this* great teasur  

house are to be seen splendid examples of paintings by Reynolds, Rub ®“ •  

Tintoretto, Claude and Rembrandt, to mention but tew of the bcUei-known  

artists represented in this collection. Here, also, may be se ‘
