One of the great historic estates in England. Set within over 1500 acres of parkland, woodland and farmland, landscaped by Capability Brown in the 18th century, the mansion houses rich collections of works of art.
Thirty interiors display great paintings, renowned furniture including masterpieces by Chippendale, sumptuous textiles, silver, porcelain, and Leeds pottery. Significant acquisitions include a portrait of Lady Hertford by Sir Joshua Reynolds bought back for Temple Newsam by The Art Fund in 1952 and portraits of Sir Arthur Ingram, Sir Thomas Ingram and Charles, 9th Viscount Irwin. The most recent acquisition is an Elizabethan portrait of Lady Bennet attributed to Hieronimos Custodis, and bought in 2003 with grants from the The Art Fund and the Leeds Art Collections Fund.
