Brympton d'Evercy (alternatively Brympton House), a grade I listed[1] manor house near Yeovil in the county of Somerset, England, has been called the most beautiful in England.[2] In 1927 the British magazine Country Life devoted three articles to it, in which Christopher Hussey, near the start of a 50-year career as an architectural authority, termed it "the one which created the greatest impression and summarises so exquisitely English country life qualities."[3] His articles remain the only detailed account of the house, which has belonged to six families: the D'Evercys, Stourtons, Sydenhams, Fanes, Weeks (1992–2008), and Glossops (since 2008).
