Fix this textWILTIO HOUSE, Which King Charles I Loved Above All Places.
Fix this textTX/ILTON HOUSE, some three or four miles north-west of
Fix this textSalisbury, was erected by William Herbert, first Earl of Pem-
Fix this textbroke. Henry VIII conferred the buildings and lands of the dis-
Fix this textsolved Abbey of Wilton upon William Herbert, who had married
Fix this textAnne, sister of Katherine Parr. As executor of Henry’s will he
Fix this texthad considerable influence in the Court of Edward VI, who
Fix this textcreated him Earl of Pembroke. He at once began to alter and
Fix this textadapt the conventual buildings at Wilton, and made them into a
Fix this textresidence worthy of his rank, engaging Holbein to design the porch.
Fix this textSince that time many celebrated architects have been employed
Fix this texton the house. Solomon de Caus built the garden front, which was
Fix this textburnt so,on after its completion. The fourth earl wished Inigo
Fix this textJones —who built the Palladian bridge over the river Wiley, which
Fix this textflows through the park—to restore the portion destroyed; he
Fix this textdeclared himself too old, and left the work to Webb, who had
Fix this textmarried his niece. Van Dyke decorated some of the chambers.
Fix this textLittle change occurred in the house until early in this century,
Fix this textwhen James Wyatt was set to enlarge it. He swept away much of
Fix this textthe ancient part, and substituted a mixture of Roman and Gothic
Fix this textforms. Queen Elizabeth visited Wilton House in 1579, and Prince
Fix this textHenry in 1603, when for a short space it became the residence of
Fix this textthe Court. It was here that Sir Philip Sidney composed his
Fix this text“Arcadia,” and some of the incidents are painted on the panels
Fix this textof the saloon. The house has also the reputation of being the
Fix this textbirthplace of the dramatic poet Philip Massinger. Aubrey says
Fix this textthat King Charles I loved Wilton above all places, and went there
Fix this textevery summer; and it was he that advised Philip, Earl of Pem-
Fix this textbroke, to have the front constructed with stately'pavilions at each
Fix this textend, and to improve the garden.
