Harlaxton Manor is a Grade I listed country house in the Elizabethan Revival style, and adjoining outbuildings, which was built in 1832 to 1844. It is now a university. The owner, Gregory Gregory, acted largely as his own architect, in collaboration with Anthony Salvin between 1832 and 1838, and with William Burn and David Bryce between 1838 and 1854. Edward Blore was also consulted. The remarkable interior decoration, dating from c.1837 to 1854, incorporates many resited French and German architectural items, and important plasterwork probably by Bernasconi.
