Description: | Distant view of Harewood House. Originally a medieval manor with a castle, a mansion (later known as Old Gawsthorpe Hall) was built on the grounds by the Gascoigne family. In the 18th century, the estate with house was purchased by a wealthy West Indian merchant family, the Lascelles. Between 1759-1771, a new house was built here in the classical style and landscaped, with some work by Capability Brown. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
