Howsham Hall

ooms together with practical family accommodation designed for modern living. Build by Sir William Bamburgh in c.1610, whose coat of arms are above the main entrance, Howsham Hall is largely late Jacobean with early classical renaissance influences. The interior was subsequently remodelled in c.1775, thought to be attributed to John Carr, known for his work at Chatsworth, Harewood House and Castle Howard to name a few. For much of its history the house was in the ownership of the Cholmleys before it passed to the Strickland family who sold the estate and its contents in 1948 – 10 years later it was bought and converted into boy’s preparatory school. The current owner has converted the house from its institutional incarnation creating a fine, enviable country residence.
