Corsham Court is a 16th-century country house in a park designed by Capability Brown. It is in the town of Corsham, 3 miles (5 km) west of Chippenham, Wiltshire, and is notable for its fine art collection, based on the nucleus of paintings inherited in 1757 by Paul Methuen from his uncle, Sir Paul Methuen, the diplomat. The house is Grade I listed and is the home of the present Baron Methuen, James Methuen-Campbell, the eighth generation of the Methuens to live there.
