This bust of the poet John Milton is one of several marble busts in the Oak Gallery at The Vyne, a 16th-century country house outside Sherborne St John, Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. The Oak Gallery is part of the original Tudor building and is decorated throughout with linenfold oak panelling (as seen in the background of this picture).
The Vyne was built for Lord Sandys, King Henry VIII's Lord Chamberlain, and later passed to the Chute family.
