Monument record 0436301000 - WILTON PARK

Wilton Park was an early C18 building: not clear whether it was on the site of the original manor house. That may be Wilton Farm (see 01:001)(B4).
Early Georgian, restored c1800 by Jupp. House of 7 bays & 2 storeys & attic & basement with 1 storey wings added (B1-2).
Early C18 house of seven bays and two and a half storeys to which some time about 1800 one-storey wings with big arched windows were added. Mr Colvin reports activity of Richard Jupp c.1790 and of C H Tatham in 1803-5. The house is entirely plastered white. Flat W side, E side with a large shallow bow in the middle. Good plasterwork inside of the Adam-Wyatt type. Also in the entrance hall, as well as the room to the left of the central room with the bow, screens of paired columns to divide off the back part. Again two columns to mark the entrance to the stair. This has an open square well with a circular glazed dome. Restrained ironwork balustrade. The room to the right of the bow room has instead of columns the back part of the room lower and covered by a segmental vault, in its details very Soanian and therefore no doubt by Tatham. The one-storey wing on the S has one big room, the biggest in the house; the N wing is subdivided into offices, etc (B3).
Located at NGR (B5).
Demolished 1962 (Illustration)(B6).
The White House in Wilton Park was built in 1779 by Josais Du Pre, a former Governor of Madras in India. It was a Georgian Palladian mansion with seven bays and three floors high. The east front was decorated with four large pilasters rising to the top of the first floor. The west front had a full height central canted bay. It faced the parkland and there were steps in front which led to the lawn. The interiors were designed by Robert Adam. The building was demolished in 1968 and replaced by an army accomodation block (B14).
The building was still standing in May 1966, when it is clearly visible in an aerial photo. Demolition therefore likely to have been in 1968 (B15).
