Tyntesfield is a Victorian Gothic Revival estate near Wraxall, Somerset, England, near Nailsea, seven miles from Bristol.
The house was acquired by the National Trust in June 2002 after a fund raising campaign to prevent it being sold to private interests and ensure it be opened to the public.
William Gibbs purchased Tyntes Place, the original Regency-Gothic house that stood on the site, in 1843. In 1863 he began the full-blown rebuilding to create the Gothic Revival extravaganza that now stands; the cost was £70,000. Notable elements of the house include glass by Powell and Wooldridge, mosaics by Salviati, and ironwork by Hart, Son, Peard and Co. The original architect was John Norton. In the 1880s further alterations were made by architect Henry Woodyer. The chapel was designed by Arthur William Blomfield in the 1870s.
The appeal by the National Trust collected £8.2 million from the public in just 100 days and the Trust also received the largest single grant ever by the National Heritage Memorial Fund (at £17.4 million), which caused some controversy. The National Lottery has earmarked a further £25 million for the major conservation work that is needed.
Since 2004 staff have been cataloging the contents of the house, which had been collected by the four generations of the family. By 2008 a total of 30,000 items had been listed including an unexploded Second World War bomb, a jewel-encrusted chalice, a roll of 19th-century flock wallpaper and a coconut with carved face and hair. A further 10,000 items are being catalogued and photographed.

In a sheltered place where I viewed the world
And all that it contained
I would see your face in a misty haze
And wish that you were there
Yes I wished that you were there
Darling Fool, I was with you all the way
Be as the flower that unfolds with each day

Sir Francis Legh's Clock Collection.
Eight-day English Longcase Clock in marquetry case.
By Henry Younge, London, circa 1675.
Henry Younge was apprenticed in 1659 to Thomas Taylor who had a workshop in The Strand. He became an independent craftsman 13 years later and during his working career trained four apprentices. Younge appears to have moved to Portsmouth in 1689. Here he would have found less competition from other clockmakers and therefore demand for his work would have been greater. He may also have produced navigational instruments in this busy seaport.

Francis Michael Legh was one of the last children to grow up at Lyme. He was the third son of the Hon Richard Legh who became the 3rd Lord Newton.
Francis was an equerry to HM Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother before becoming Private Secretary to HRH The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon in 1959. He was made Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in 1968 and remained Treasurer to Princess Margaret until his death in 1984.
Throughout his life Sir Francis maintained a passion for horology amassing one of the most important collections of English clocks. The other great interests of his life was Lyme. Even after the estate had been bequeathed to the National Trust, Sir Francis held a deep devotion to the estate as well to those who worked here.
In his will Sir Francis generously left his magnificent collection of clocks to the National Trust, stipulating they should be displayed at Lyme for visitors to enjoy. In the intervening years, several other special clocks have been added to the collection.
