Bramham Park

Bramham Park is a Grade I listed 18th century country house in Bramham, between Leeds and Wetherby, in West Yorkshire, England.
The Baroque mansion was built in 1698 for Robert Benson, 1st Baron Bingley. It has remained in the ownership of Benson's descendants since its completion in 1710, He died with no male heirs and the barony was extinguished. The estate passed into the hands of his son-in-Law George Fox-Lane (c.1697–1773), who was given the re-created title of Baron Bingley in 1763.
George Lane Fox (1931-2012), after 20 years in the Household Cavalry, moved into the Hall and put the estate on an up-to-date financial footing, today it remains a private residence in the hands of George's son, Nick,

A private residence?! Oh my. It is an amazing home. I can only imagine the interior!
