Barrington Court, Somerset *
Building of this Tudor Mansion near Ilminster in Somerset commenced in 1538 and in subsequent centuries it was occupied by various families. It became a Grade 1 listed building in 1959 which gives it legal protection from demolition or major alteration without prior approval from the local authority – Somerset Council.
Today it is owned and managed by the National Trust, having acquired it in 1907, and is open to the public.
Like many National Trust properties, it has been used for films and television productions – the most recent being the BBC series Wolf Hall.
