Longleat is the seat of the 7th Marquess of Bath. The Thynne family have owned the Estate since 1540, when Sir John Thynne bought the land for £53 and started to build Longleat house. In 1948, due to crippling expenses, death duties and taxation, the late Lord Bath, the 6th Marquess, opened his house to the public. In 1966 he formed a partnership with Jimmy Chipperfield and set up the world's first drive through animal park.
