Barrington Park is a Palladian style country house standing in an estate of the same name near the villages of Great Barrington and Little Barrington, Gloucestershire, England. It is a Grade I listed building. The parkland in which it stands is Grade II* listed. The house was built between 1736 and 1738 for Charles Talbot, Lord Chancellor to George II, for the use of his son William Talbot, 1st Earl Talbot and the latter's wife Mary de Cardonnel. It was extended in 1870-3 by Edward Rhys Wingfield. The building is constructed in two storeys plus a basement of ashlar with a stone slate roof. It is rectangular in plan with the later extensions at both ends. The frontage has 9 bays of which the central 3 bays project. Several of the parks features (a dovecote and two temples) are separately Grade II* listed.
