Facts and practical information

Philipps House is an early nineteenth-century Neo-Grecian country house at Dinton, overlooking the Nadder valley about 8 miles west of Salisbury, Wiltshire, England. The house was built in 1816 by William Wyndham to the designs of Sir Jeffry Wyatville, replacing a 17th-century house. In 1916 the estate was bought by Bertram Philipps, who renamed the house after himself, then in 1943 gave the house and grounds to the National Trust. The house and its parkland are Grade II* listed.
