1. Wallington House in its current form, was built for Sir Walter Calverley Blackett. It passed to the Trevelyan family (through inheritance) in 1777 and became a centre for literary and scientific culture. It was gifted to the National Trust by Sir Charles Philips Trevelyan, an ‘illogical Englishman’, in 1942.
2. The Drawing Room. Sir Walter’s portrait, painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds, sits above the pianos. Inset - don't forget to look up and one of the pianos.
3. The Library, originally a drawing room, was created in 1853 and contains over 3,000 books. Inset - pause to take a closer look.
4. The Central Hall. Originally an open courtyard, it was roofed in the 1850’s. The historic depictions were painted by Pre-Raphaelite artist William Bell Scott.
5. Wallington is the largest, intact estate in the care of the National Trust (13,500 acres) and includes pleasure grounds and a spectacular Walled Garden.
