Charlton Park is a country house and estate in Wiltshire, England, 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast of the town of Malmesbury. Charlton Park House is a Grade I listed building and a leading example of the prodigy house. Malmesbury Abbey held Charlton manor from before 1086 until the Dissolution. The house was begun in the 1560s by Henry Knyvet, whose wife Elizabeth Stumpe had inherited the manor.

  • Charlton Park House ist ein Landhaus 3,2 Kilometer nordöstlich von Malmesbury in der englischen Grafschaft Wiltshire. English Heritage hat das hervorragende Beispiel eines jakobinischen Hauses als historisches Gebäude I. Grades gelistet. Das umgebende Anwesen Charlton Park Estate gehörte den Earls of Suffolk seit der Reformation. Es handelte sich um Land, das früher zur gehörte. Das Landhaus wurde 1607 im Auftrag von Thomas Howard, 1. Earl of Suffolk, und seiner Gattin fertiggestellt. 1975 wurde das Landhaus in Apartments umgebaut. Der heutige Earl, Michael Howard, 21. Earl of Suffolk, ist Eigentümer des Parks und der umgebenden, landwirtschaftlich genutzten Flächen. Im Park finden Firmenveranstaltungen und das WOMAD Charlton Park Festival statt. Das kleine Dorf Charlton befindet sich unmittelbar östlich des Anwesens. Das Gemeindegebiet umfasst das Dorf und das Anwesen. (de)
  • Charlton Park is a country house and estate in Wiltshire, England, 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast of the town of Malmesbury. Charlton Park House is a Grade I listed building and a leading example of the prodigy house. Malmesbury Abbey held Charlton manor from before 1086 until the Dissolution. The house was begun in the 1560s by Henry Knyvet, whose wife Elizabeth Stumpe had inherited the manor. In 1598 the manor passed to their daughter Catherine, wife of Thomas Howard, who was created Earl of Suffolk in 1603, and the estate continues to be the seat of the earls. Enlargement and alteration of the house, including the addition of the second floor and stair turrets, was completed in 1607. John Dryden wrote Annus Mirabilis while staying at the house in 1667. Major alterations were made in the 1770s by Matthew Brettingham the Younger for Henry Howard, 12th Earl of Suffolk, with the rebuilding of the south front, additional stair turrets, and the roofing-over of the central courtyard to make a large domed hall; the interior was unfinished on Henry's death in 1779 and was not completed until the early 20th century. Brettingham probably also built Andover House, some 150 metres north of the main house, with its estate offices and stables. The house was converted into apartments in 1975. The park hosts corporate events and, since 2007, the annual WOMAD Charlton Park music festival. There is a small airfield at the estate with two grass runways 02/20 and 07/25. Parts of "Piece of Cake", a 1988 British six-part television serial depicting the fictional life of a Royal Air Force fighter squadron during the first year of World War II, were filmed here. The squadron's officers' mess was set in the house, and Spitfire fighter aircraft were operated from the airfield. The small village of Charlton is immediately to the east of the estate. The civil parish of Charlton encompasses the village and the estate. (en)
