Philipps House was designed by Jeffry Wyatt and completed in 1815 for William Wyndham (1769-1841). It was sold to Mr Bertram Philipps in 1916 who gave the house with 205 acres of parkland to us in 1943.

It is not known when the park was designed or planted, but it still retains something of the 18th-century character of Capability Brown.
The park is grazed by cattle during the summer to maintain a herb-rich grassland
