MONTACUTE HOUSE

Montacute is one of the foremost Elizabethan mansions in England, set in 300 acres in Somerset and built of local sandstone by Sir Edward Phelips. It has the longest long gallery in England, which is used by the National Portrait Gallery to show portraits contemporary with the house.

It is a popular film location - Montacute was Greenwich Palace in BBC TV's Wolf Hall.
