Trafalgar Park, Wiltshire

Trafalgar Park, also known as Trafalgar House, is a country house south of Salisbury, in Wiltshire, England. It is popular for events such as weddings, corporate meetings and charity fundraisers. In recent years, it has also been used as a set for film scenes.

The estate was formerly called Standlynch Park, after an ancient settlement of that name recorded in the Domesday book of 1086. The Beauchamp family owned Standlynch Manor during the Tudor period, after which it was bought by the Greene family. They owned it until the 17th century, when it was acquired by the Buckland family.

Standlynch Manor was bought by Sir Peter Vandeput in 1726. Three years later, he had John James design what would eventually become the Trafalgar Park which can be seen today. Sir Peter died in 1748, bequeathing the estate to his son George, who in 1752 sold it to Sir William Young. Henry Dawkins bought it from Young in 1765.

In 1766 Henry Dawkins had John Wood design pavilions to the north and south of the building. He also had Nicholas Revett add a stone portico and remodel the internal architecture of the north wing. The music room was redecorated by Giovanni Battista Cipriani. Dawkins died in 1814, and the estate was presented to the heirs of Horatio Nelson.
