Redlynch is village in the civil parish of Bruton within the South Somerset district of Somerset, England.

In the mid 12th century Redlynch belonged to Henry Lovel of Castle Cary.[1]

The Church of Saint Peter dates from 1750 and was built by Nathaniel Ireson of Wincanton. It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building.[2]

Redlynch Park which surrounds Redlynch House, has formal gardens of 18th century origin, with early 20th century elements designed by Edwin Lutyens.[1] The east wing of the house was built in the first half of the 18th century, by Nathaniel Ireson of Wincanton for the Earl of Ilchester and remodelled as a house in 1913 probably by Sir Edwin Lutyens.[3] The west block was previously the stable.[4] Within the grounds are an orangery,[5] summerhouse[6] and walled kitchen garden.[1]
