History
Wilton House is an English country house situated at Wilton near Salisbury in Wiltshire, United Kingdom. It has been the country seat of the Earls of Pembroke for over 400 years.
The first recorded building on the site of Wilton House was of a priory founded by King Egbert circa 871. This priory later due to the munificence of King Alfred was granted lands and manors until it became a powerful and wealthy abbey. However, by the time Wilton Abbey was dissolved during the Dissolution of the Monasteries by King Henry VIII of England, its prosperity was already on the wane — following the seizure of the abbey King Henry then presented it and the estates to William Herbert (c.1544).
