Petworth, National Trust - 01798 342207

Discover a 'house of art' overflowing with paintings and sculptures, set within 700 acres of breathtaking historic landscape.

Immerse yourself in the grandeur of our show rooms containing a world famous collection of paintings, with many works by JMW Turner, Van Dyck, Reynolds and Blake, together with ancient and Neo-classical sculpture and intricate carvings by Grinling Gibbons. In contrast to the opulence of the House, follow in the footsteps of Petworth servants and see what life was like ‘below stairs’ in the fascinating Servants’ Quarters. Petworth House remains a living family home to this day and on weekdays Lord and Lady Egremont kindly open some of their private rooms for our visitors to enjoy.
