Wotton House. The Evelyn family seat, now leased to the Home Office as the Fire Service College. John Evelyn was born here in 1620 and eventually came into possession when his brother died in 1699. The house itself is now a medley of fragments, largely C19: the chief interest has always been in the landscaped gardens, designed and laid out by Evelyn for his brother from 1643 onwards. Most of them remain. The house in 1640 was a complicated multi-gabled Tudor jumble to the s[outh] and a U-shaped courtyard to the n[orth]. The s front has remained a jumble, with seven or eight piecemeal C18 and C19 additions, and two C17 brick gables on the return side of a projection which corresponds to one of the Tudor wings. The n side was first given a dour Georgian centre; then the wing was rebuilt with fancy C17 detail - the broad brick window surrounds are very curious - in 1828, probably by Francis Edwards*. Finally the e[ast] wing was rebuilt and the centre refaced

The door seems to be Jacobean work.

in hard Tudor style by Woodyer in 1864. Inside there are several fanciful Jacobean doors and doorcases, some with strap-work spandrels and fierce diamond-rusticated pilasters, a big flat Tuscan Doric doorcase in the present Entrance Hall that could well be by Evelyn, of c. 1650, and a plain late c 17 staircase...

Wotton House

Hello,

Please could our name be changed to 'Wotton House' rather than 'Wotton House, Surrey' as it is causing problems for our Facebook page and location settings. If there can't be two 'wotton house' pages, please change Wotton House in buckinghamshire to 'Wotton House, Buckinghamshire' as this is a private house, closed to the public.

many thanks

Wikipedia is not for promotion it's an encyclopedia as such the fact that Wotton House is "closed to the public" is of no relevance, it's whether it has Encyclopedic importance. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 14:58, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
