Mompesson House is an 18th century townhouse in Salisbury’s Cathedral Close, owned by the National Trust and named after Charles Mompesson, for whom it was built in 1701. At the time of writing, it is closed for winter, but will reopen in the spring of 2023.
After Mompesson died in 1714, the house passed to his brother-in-law, Charles Longueville. and thereafter to a succession of different families, until it passed to the National Trust upon the death of its last owner, Denis Martineau, in 1975. It opened to the public in 1977.
The house is noted for its walled garden, and its collection of 18th century drinking glasses. Admission costs £8 for adults and £4 for children. Its postcode is SP1 2EL, and being in the Cathedral Close, it is not difficult to find.
