Teffont Magna, sometimes called Upper Teffont, is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Teffont, in the Nadder valley in the south of the county of Wiltshire, England. For most of its history, Teffont Magna was a chapelry of neighbouring Dinton. In 1934 it was combined with the parish of Teffont Evias, just to the south, to form a united Teffont parish. Location Teffont Magna lies 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) west of Dinton and 7 miles (11 km) west of Wilton. The parish extends north onto the chalk downs that separate the valleys of the Nadder and Wylye.[1] The village is between Chilmark and Dinton on the B3089 Hindon to Barford St Martin road, in the valley of a stream which rises just to the north and flows south through Teffont Evias to join the Nadder.

The house you can see in the park is Philipps House. The house nestles in the steep wooded banks behind it and looks out over the expansive parkland. It’s separated from the park by a special deer fence called a ha-ha which allows uninterrupted views across the park and stops deer and cattle from into the garden. The house was designed by Jeffry Wyatville in a Georgian style with Greek-inspired columns supporting the large portico front. It was named Dinton House after the park for the Wyndham family. It was later renamed to Philipps House when it was sold to Bertram Philipps. In 2023 a 25-year lease of the house was conditionally sold for £2m. https://www.struttandparker.com/properties/st-marys-road-6

The church of St Michael and All Angels in Teffont Evias dates from 1100. There isn't much on record to show which parts (if any) are this old, but there is evidence from 1200.

On the site of an older house, Philipps House in Dinton Park is a neo-Grecian mansion built in the early 1800s. A grade II-listen property, the house is named for a subsequent owner, Bertram Philipps and is constructed from local Chilmark Stone. Once used by the YWCA as an artists retreat, you can now visit the park, which is under the management of the National Trust.

I only went there as it was marked on the map. It said "Ruins" and I thought maybe something a bit older was to be found! Still interesting to be fair. Looks like a big house has been left to ruin, and in this day and age, seems strange. Don't know any history of it or the place, but gave me a off route location to aim for on the Gravely Woods ride. This is where I got a pungy...must have been a bramble. All the flint and stones in the road and it was a short bit of single track that managed to poke a hole in the tube!

great hotel to sit in the garden and have a drink!
