Ditton Manor (or Ditton Park) is a peach-colored manor house near Slough in Berkshire. The moated house was built in the early 19th century in a typical romantic style, with its castle-like appearance, using turrets and stucco crenelations. 

Syon House is a West London mansion that is the seat of the Duke of Northumberland. The country house was first built in the 16th century by the Duke of Somerset. The name of the house comes from Syon Abbey, a medieval monastery that was founded by King Henry V.

The house has many ties to English royalty: Henry VIII’s fifth wife, Catherine Howard, was imprisoned at the house before her execution, Henry VIII’s coffin rested at Syon House for one night, Lady Jane Grey, “The Nine Days Queen” lived at the house when she heard the news that she was to become Queen, and the future Queen Anne also lived at the house after being evicted from Queen Mary’s court.

Another noteworthy resident of Syon House is Thomas Harriot, who worked at Syon House when he first made use of the newly invented telescope. He made astronomical drawings of the moon, even before Galileo Galilei made his observations.

In the 18th century, the house was redesigned by Robert Adam, who gave the interiors an eclectic design.

The Saloon in Blenheim Palace was painted around the time of the Peace Treaty of Utrecht (1713-1715). It features a three-dimensional painting (called a trompe l’œil), a fashionable painting technique in the early 18th century. The painting represents the coming of peace with all the nations of the world coming together peacefully.

Blenheim Palace is a grand country house and family seat of the Dukes of Marlborough in Oxfordshire. It is unique for being the only non-royal and non-episcopal country house in England to be called a palace. 

Blenheim Palace is one of the largest country houses in England. It was built in the early 18th century as a gift to John Churchill for his military successes in the War of the Spanish Succession. The English Baroque country house was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, and it was the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. 

The Merton College Chapel was built in the late 13th century, and it’s unique as a religious English building, and almost all medieval glass panes have survived.  

In Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, Wilton House is mainly used for the royal palace where Princess Augusta resides and receives visitors like Lord Bute.

Perhaps the most famous room at Wilton House is The Double Cube Room which has golden decorations and large paintings. You can often see Princess Augusta sitting in this room.

Wilton House in Salisbury has been owned by the Earl of Pembroke since 1544. The estate has never been sold and currently, the 18th Earl of Pembroke resides in the house.

The Holburne Museum is located in the Sydney Pleasure Gardens, the only remaining 18th-century pleasure gardens in England. The Holburne Museum is the first public art gallery in Bath. The collection of Sir William Holburne is the main attraction of the museum. During his Grand Tour, he acquired a taste for art, and this is how he started his collection. He left his art collection, which features work by Gainsborough, Guardi, Stubbs, and Zoffany, to the city of Bath.

Eventually, Hampton Court Palace was given to King Henry VIII, and it quickly became one of his favorite palaces. Together with St. James’ Palace, they are the only palaces that survived King Henry VIII’s reign.

Dorney Court has been owned by the Palmer family for more than 500 years. While the house is mainly in its original state, the exterior was rebuilt during the Victorian period, but they used the original bricks, making it look very Tudor and perfect for the Bridgerton world.
