1. Killerton House is a Georgian property set in the 6,400 acre Killerton Estate. It is believed Killerton was originally a Tudor-era house, but a series of major alterations brought it to it’s current state.
2. The Music Room, originally the dinning room. The chamber organ was moved in at the start of the 20th century and this room became the centre of family life in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
3. The drawing room (well, a bit of it), was originally the entrance hall, the breakfast room and strong room in earlier iterations of the house.
4. KIllerton was the home of the Aclands from the late 17th century until 1944. (They seem to have spent much of their time making alterations to the layout!).
5. Killerton house is now home to the National Trust’s biggest fashion collection (originally known as the Paulise de Bush collection), with more than 20,000 items of historic clothing and accessories.
6. In 1944 - in accordance with their political beliefs - Sir Richard Dyke Acland, 15th Baronet, and his wife Lady Anne, gave Killerton to the National Trust ‘for the benefit and enjoyment of everybody’. (This became one of the biggest bequests the National Trust ever received - and included the two large estates of Killerton and Holnicote in Somerset).
