Redlynch Park, Shepton Montague / Bruton - Somerset Council (UA)
Formerly the principal seat of the Earls of Ilchester, Redlynch is a large landscape park near Wincanton. The main house has gone and the stables and ancillary buildings are now in multiple ownership. The majority of the parkland planting has disappeared, boundary walls and estate railings are generally in poor condition. There are also on-going development pressures. An C18 Gothic gatehouse, The Towers, was repaired in 2012 and is no longer at risk, and sections of the park wall have been repaired with a Natural England Stewardship Scheme.
