Stately homes in Yorkshire that would fit the Bridgerton aesthetic
Carlton Towers
Carlton Towers near Selby is a Grade I listed country house designed in the Gothic Revival style and was rebuilt to its present form in 1873 to 1875 by Henry Stapleton, 9th Baron Beaumont.
Gothic Revival was the typical style of buildings during the Regency period which is when Bridgerton was set.
The architects of Carlton Towers were Thomas Atkinson (1770s) and Edward Welby Pugin (1870s).
Newby Hall
This country house in the parish of Skelton-on-Ure is a Grade I listed building where the hall contains a collection of furniture and paintings and is surrounded by vibrant gardens.
The building’s exterior is a blend of styles, predominantly Georgian architecture, particularly neoclassical designs of Robert Adam. John Carr designed the interior and the original architect was Sir Christopher Wren.
The manor predates the 1600s and was first passed onto the Crosland family who sold it to Sir Edward Blackett, an MP for the constituency of Ripon, in the 1690s.
Duncombe Park
Duncombe Park is the residence of the Duncombe family who formerly held the title Earls of Feversham.
The house was completed in 1713 for Thomas Duncombe to designs by the Yorkshire architect William Wakefield.
It was remodelled in 1843 by Sir Charles Barry and the reconstruction following a fire was based on the original design.
Duncombe Park is primarily an Italian Baroque style mansion, featuring grand classical elements like Tuscan porticos and Doric pilasters, although it also incorporates Georgian symmetry and later Victorian remodels with gardens reflecting Palladian influences.
Wentworth Woodhouse
The Grade I listed country house in the village of Wentworth is currently owned by the Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust.
The original Jacobean house was rebuilt by Thomas Watson-Wentworth, 1st Marquess of Rockingham.
Wentworth Woodhouse’s architectural style is English Baroque (west front) and Palladian (east front) and the architects who designed it were William Etty, Ralph Tunnicliffe, Henry Flitcroft and John Carr.
