Bradley House (Wiltshire)

Bradley House or Maiden Bradley House is a country house in Maiden Bradley with Yarnfield, Wiltshire.

Around 1688 Sir Edward Seymour, 4th Baronet deserted his family home at Berry Pomeroy Castle in Devon and used the money derived from stripping that castle to fund improvements to a new house at Bradley[1] that had been started by his father, the 3rd Baronet. The new Bradley House was completed c.1710. It was a huge building, replaced in 1820 by a house only an eighth of the original size.
