This is the stately house known as Castle Howard in Yorkshire. The country home of the Earl of Carlisle between 1699 and 1725. When the Earl died in 1738 the project was completed by his son in law Sir Thomas Robinson between 1801-1811. Thereafter modest change took place until the Great Fire of 1940 that severely damaged the building with the roof dome collapsing leaving the house open to the elements. The dome was re-built in 1960 with re-decoration complete in 1981. Other restoration work undertaken by the Howard family were completed in 1995, with other work being ongoing to this day
This is the stately house known as Castle Howard in Yorkshire. The country home of the Earl of Carlisle started constructed between 1699 and 1702, with the house-structure being largely complete by 1725. When the Earl died in 1738 the project was taken over and completed by his son in law Sir Thomas Robinson between 1801-1811. Thereafter little change took place other than landscaping the gardens until the Great Fire of 1940 that severely damaged the building that included the roof dome collapsing into the Great Hall leaving the house open to the elements. The dome was re-built in 1960 with re-decoration complete in 1981. Other restoration work undertaken by the Howard family were completed in 1995. Being an old building restoration work continues to this day. Castle Howard is open to the public
