Harewood House is one of the greatest country houses in Britain.
Situated in the heart of Yorkshire, the house was commissioned in
the 18th century by Edwin Lascelles, 1st Earl of Harewood. He
employed the finest artists and craftsmen of the time, including
John Carr of York for the Palladian exterior, Robert Adam for the
interiors and Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown for the landscape.
Exquisitely furnished, Harewood was Thomas Chippendale’s largest
single commission. Harewood displays an extraordinary collection of
Renaissance masterpieces alongside fine works of 20th-century art,
and was the first country house in England to have a designated
space for contemporary art. All Saints’ Church, on the Harewood
Estate, contains one of the most magnificent collections of late
medieval alabaster tombs in Britain. This exquisite album of
photographs by Harry Cory Wright allows us to experience Harewood
as if for the first time. With an introduction by David Lascelles,
8th Earl of Harewood, who shares with us his own experience of
living in such a remarkable house, this book evokes an incredibly
vivid sense of place.
