Brympton d'Evercy (also known as Brympton House) is a manor house near Yeovil in the county of Somerset England. It has been called "the most beautiful house in England in a country of architecturally pleasing country houses". In 1927 the British magazine Country Life published a set of three articles on the house, in which Christopher Hussey, near the start of his 50-year career as an architectural authority and documenter of British country houses, described Brympton d'Evercy as "the most incomparable house in Britain, the one which created the greatest impression and summarises so exquisitely English country life qualities." His articles remain the only detailed account of the house, which in its long history has belonged to several notable families: the D'Evercys, the Stourtons, the Sydenhams, & the Fanes.
