Stourhead House

Stourhead House was built between 1720 and 1724 for the banker Henry Hoare. Its architect was Colen Campbell, champion of the Palladian style. Believing that Andrea Palladio was the true heir to the Roman architect Vitruvius, Campbell adapted the plan and elevations of Palladio’s Villa Emo, near Venice (built in 1564). Stourhead House, therefore, is a Venetian villa adapted to an English setting.
