Bramham Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bramham is a historic house in near Wetherby, West Yorkshire, England, currently owned by Nicholas Lane-Fox. The current house was restored in the early 20th century after a fire in 1828 left the house uninhabitable for 80 years. It had originally been built by the Robert Benson, 1st Baron Bingley in 1698 and is it the near the village of Bramham cum Oglethorpe more commonly known as Bramham.

Its grounds (over 400 acres in total) are used for various events, including the Leeds Festival, and the Bramham Horse Trials. A more restricted area of the grounds are kept as gardens and run as a tourist attraction — visitors can also tour the house but only in pre-arranged parties.
