St Peter's Church interior

In 1717 the Stourton estate was purchased by Henry Hoare, and he renovated the medieval church in 1722. Hoare built a large altar piece to span the entire east wall, and built his own family vault. A later rebuilding in 1848 inserted a Hoare family pew, complete with its own fireplace for comfort.

Even after 150 odd years, the bridge still stands. It's lovely pastoral scene so typical of Stourhead.

St Peter's Church
© Victor Naumenko (view gallery)
The medieval church stands immediately outside Stourhead Gardens, looking out over the neo-classical 18th century landscape designed by Sir Henry Hoare II. The earliest record of a church here dates from 1291, and it seems likely that the north nave arcade and tower date from that time. The lords of the manor were the Stourton family, and their family vault is under the present North aisle.

Henry Hoare I and Henry Hoare II memorials
© Victor Naumenko (view gallery)
Against the East wall of the aisle is a memorial to Henry Hoare I (d. 1724), with urns spouting gilded flames, flanking a very large inscribed tablet listing Hoare's lineage and accomplishments. On the South wall is a memorial to Henry Hoare II (1705-1785), the creator of Stourhead Gardens. The memorial is flanked by urns, and above an inscription are two cherubs, one bearing a scroll, the other holding an urn. The memorial is signed by C Harris and dated 1789.

Stourhead House
© Victor Naumenko (view gallery)
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.
