Hovingham Hall

[1] A Tuscan temple and the ornamental bridge over a waterfall in the grounds of the hall are both listed Grade II.

The present house was built between 1750 and 1774 by Thomas Worsley VI (1710–1778), who was Surveyor-General to the Board of Works under George III, and designed the building himself.

He was succeeded by his son Edward and he in turn in 1830 by his nephew William (1792–1879)[6] who in 1838 was made first Baronet Worsley of Hovingham.

Colonel Sir William Worsley, 4th Baronet, was the captain of Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1928 and 1929.

The house and gardens are open to the public for a limited time each year, usually four weeks in June.
