Brief Historical Background

The Wallington Estate was once home to the Trevelyan family and is now in the care of the National Trust. It is the largest intact estate at some 13,500 acres and is set in rolling hills with extensive woodlands and a beautiful walled garden. The house displays thousands of nationally important collections and is surrounded by an informal landscape of lawns, lakes, woodland, parkland and farmland. Among the many figures involved in the redesign of Wallington was Lancelot Capability Brown, who grew up in the local area and attended school in Cambo. The Garden House was built in 1766 and formed part of the Wallington Estate until 1970; whereupon it was bought by the current family, who are only the second owners. It has therefore never been available for purchase on the open market.
