Barrington Court is a Tudor manor house near Ilminster, one of the first properties acquired by the National Trust in 1907. The house was rescued from near-dereliction by Colonel Arthur Lyle of the Tate & Lyle sugar dynasty, who restored it in the 1920s and filled the adjacent Strode House with his collection of decorative arts. The garden, laid out by Gertrude Jekyll, is one of her finest surviving designs — a series of interconnected garden rooms including a white garden, rose and iris garden, and a productive kitchen garden that still supplies the estate restaurant.
