Castle Howard the History the Howard Family Have Lived at Castle Castle Howard “Nobody had informed me that at one view I should see a palace, a town, a fortified city, temples on high places, woods worthy of being each a metropolis of Druids, the noblest lawn in the world fenced by half the horizon, and a mausoleum that would tempt one to be buried alive: in short I have seen gigantic palaces before, but never a sublime one.” Horace Walpole, 1772 The History The Howard family have lived at Castle Howard ever since it was built for them over 300 years ago and today it remains a family home. Set in the rolling Howardian Hills of North Yorkshire, Castle Howard was commissioned by the 3rd Earl of Carlisle and designed by the dramatist John Vanbrugh, with the assistance of architect Nicholas Hawksmoor, in 1699. The exuberant facades, grand interiors and formal parklands of Castle Howard took over 100 years to complete, spanning the lifetimes of three Earls. The house’s contrasting Baroque and Palladian wings are surmounted by a dramatic masonry dome, the first of its kind to crown a private residence in England. On 9 November 1940, several of the rooms were lost to a fire which swept through the south-east wing into the Great Hall, destroying the dome and nearly twenty rooms. The schoolgirls of St Margaret’s School, who were evacuated to Castle Howard during the war, helped retrieve precious paintings and antiques from the house. Today, the south-east wing remains a shell but the Garden Hall and High South Rooms have been turned into sets and exhibition space and opened to the public after their use in both television and film adaptations of Brideshead Revisited. The House Successive generations have welcomed visitors to the house and it was first opened to the public by George Howard & his wife Lady Cecilia Fitzroy in 1952. It is our continuing success as a tourist attraction and the income this generates that makes possible the endless tasks of preservation, restoration and renovation throughout the house & grounds. The east wing remains the private residence of the Howard family with the rest of the house open to the public; almost 250,000 visitors pass through the doors each year. Exhibitions in the house include: ‘Duty Calls: Castle Howard in Time of War’, ‘Brideshead Restored’ and a small display about the relationship between the Howard family and William Morris. Today the Great Hall is also licensed for weddings; ceremonies in the hall can be followed by dinner and dancing in the Long Gallery. The Gardens Set in almost 1,000 acres, Castle Howard’s gardens and parkland are a mixture of sweeping vistas, lakeside terraces, woodlands, temples, statues and formal gardens. In the 18th century walled garden enjoy a stunning collection of heritage roses, with arbours, herbaceous borders and a carp pond creating the perfect place of tranquillity. In the ornamental vegetable garden, sweet pea wigwams sit amongst the vegetable patches filled with traditional English garden crops which supply the farm shop & cafés The imposing Atlas Fountain dominates the south parterre, which also boasts an impressive collection of lead statues, lakes and terraces with the Temple of The Four Winds giving stunning 360 degree views of the surrounding hills and monuments. Ray Wood houses a prestigious collection of rhododendrons as well as glades of Pieris, wild roses, magnolias, hydrangeas, viburnums, maples and rowans which sit alongside rare botanical finds from around the world. Free daily garden tours take place during high season. By the Great Lake, a high energy adventure playground provides hours of fun for visiting families. The Estate The Castle Howard Estate, which features over 200 listed buildings and monuments, is just15 miles north-east of York. The estate is approximately 8,800 acres (3,561 ha), comprising of farmland, woodland, parkland and property; the diversity of activities from agriculture to the holiday park and let properties all help to generate vital income. Important monumental features include: The Mausoleum Built from 1728-42 to Nicholas Hawksmoor’s design and supervised by William Etty. The Mausoleum rises 90ft into the air and is supported by a colonnade of twenty pillars. Inside, beneath the large circular chapel is a vault containing 63 catacombs. The Mausoleum remains the private burial place of the Howard family. The Pyramid Designed and built by Nicholas Hawksmoor in 1728, this four-sided pyramid measure 9 meters high. Hollow inside it contains a large bust of Lord William Howard, the 3rd Earl’s great-great-great grandfather and Tudor founder of the Carlisle branch of the Howard family. The Gatehouse Built originally as a pyramid arch by Sir John Vanbrugh in c.1718, the flanking wings were added by Sir Thomas Robinson in 1756-58, after which the building became an inn. The Stray Walls Mock fortification walls built c.1720 by Sir John Vanbrugh. Built from limestone and spanning half a mile to the east and west of the Gatehouse, the walls measure four metres high and have square and circular interval towers of different styles. The Obelisk Built in 1714-15 by Sir John Vanbrugh. The square sandstone shaft rises 24 metres high and has a pointed apex. It bears two inscriptions, one in Latin to the victories of the Duke of Marlborough and the second in English to the building achievements of the 3rd Earl of Carlisle and his aspirations for himself and his family. Carrmire Gate Designed and built in c.1726 by Nicholas Hawksmoor. A crenellated mock- medieval limestone curtain wall with polygonal end turrets and triple keystone archway beneath a pediment flanked by square piers topped with slender pyramids. Seventh Earl’s Monument Erected in 1869-70 to the design of Frederick Pepys Cockerel to the memory of George Howard, 7th Earl of Carlisle (1802 – 1864), and paid for by public subscription. A sandstone column stands on a stepped platform with heraldic devices at the corner. Standing at 30 metres tall and topped with a metal superstructure. Shops & Cafés The Stable Courtyard provides a shopping and eating destination for locals and tourists alike with a farm shop, gift shop, book and toy shop, garden centre, coffee shop and café. Open year round and with free admission, the courtyard is a popular hub for cyclists and walkers. Within the grounds there is an additional gift shop, main restaurant and boathouse café with ice cream kiosk by the lake and adventure playground. In the summer, boat trips on the lake sail from the boathouse decking. Events There is a changing programme of annual events with highlights including; family focussed Easter activities, The Proms Spectacular, a flower festival, triathlon, monthly courtyard markets (from April to October), a Halloween event and Christmas opening. On Film For many, Castle Howard is synonymous with Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited having featured in both the 1981 Granada adaptation and the Miramax feature film in 2008 as the home of the fictional Marchmain family. The story of the filming of both adaptations is revealed in an exhibition in the house ‘Brideshead Restored’.

  • The Country House in English Women's Poetry 1650-1750: Genre, Power and Identity
    The country house in English women's poetry 1650-1750: genre, power and identity Sharon L. Young A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the University’s requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 University of Worcester Abstract The country house in English women’s poetry 1650-1750: power, identity and genre This thesis examines the depiction of the country estate in English women’s poetry, 1650-1750. The poems discussed belong to the country house genre, work with or adapt its conventions and tropes, or belong to what may be categorised as sub-genres of the country house poem. The country house estate was the power base of the early modern world, authorizing social status, validating political power and providing an economic dominance for the ruling elite. This thesis argues that the depiction of the country estate was especially pertinent for a range of female poets. Despite the suggestive scholarship on landscape and place and the emerging field of early modern women’s literary studies and an extensive body of critical work on the country house poem, there have been to date no substantial accounts of the role of the country estate in women’s verse of this period. In response, this thesis has three main aims. Firstly, to map out the contours of women’s country house poetry – taking full account of the chronological scope, thematic and formal diversity of the texts, and the social and geographic range of the poets using the genre. Secondly, to interrogate the formal and thematic characteristics of women’s country house poetry, looking at the appropriation and adaptation of the genre.

It identifies important features of the villages and their buildings which need to be retained if the character of the villages is to be preserved, while recognising that Slingsby is a working village. It also seeks to identify changes which could be harmful to the character of these settlements. The focus of the document is on Slingsby, as it is the largest settlement in the Parish and subject to more development than the hamlets of South Holme and Fryton. It is intended to be of help and guidance for any new developments in the village as well as for small alterations to existing properties.

  • Wren and the English Baroque
    What is English Baroque? • An architectural style promoted by Christopher Wren (1632-1723) that developed between the Great Fire (1666) and the Treaty of Utrecht (1713). It is associated with the new freedom of the Restoration following the Cromwell’s puritan restrictions and the Great Fire of London provided a blank canvas for architects. In France the repeal of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 revived religious conflict and caused many French Huguenot craftsmen to move to England. • In total Wren built 52 churches in London of which his most famous is St Paul’s Cathedral (1675-1711). Wren met Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) in Paris in August 1665 and Wren’s later designs tempered the exuberant articulation of Bernini’s and Francesco Borromini’s (1599-1667) architecture in Italy with the sober, strict classical architecture of Inigo Jones. • The first truly Baroque English country house was Chatsworth, started in 1687 and designed by William Talman. • The culmination of English Baroque came with Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726) and Nicholas Hawksmoor (1661-1736), Castle Howard (1699, flamboyant assemble of restless masses), Blenheim Palace (1705, vast belvederes of massed stone with curious finials), and Appuldurcombe House, Isle of Wight (now in ruins). Vanburgh’s final work was Seaton Delaval Hall (1718, unique in its structural audacity). Vanburgh was a Restoration playwright and the English Baroque is a theatrical creation. In the early 18th century the English Baroque went out of fashion. It was associated with Toryism, the Continent and Popery by the dominant Protestant Whig aristocracy. The Whig Thomas Watson-Wentworth, 1st Marquess of Rockingham, built a Baroque house in the 1720s but criticism resulted in the huge new Palladian building, Wentworth Woodhouse, we see today.

Meadows A Thesis in the Field of History for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 2021 Copyright 2021 Jessica N. Meadows Abstract This work details the lives and roles of the wives of Henry VIII as well as other female members of the British aristocracy, specifically during the reign of Henry VIII and the time immediately preceding and succeeding his reign. The research cited in this work show that female members of the nobility, particularly the wives of Henry VIII, were not completely independent of Henry VIII but gained independence through their own unique households and through the decisions they made in this space they could attain a certain level of autonomy. Women’s leadership within the household could translate into leadership outside of the household and allowed women to operate and hold power independently of their male counterparts, particularly when employing religious and patronage efforts.

  • The University of Hull the Early Career of Thomas
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL THE EARLY CAREER OF THOMAS, LORD HOWARD, EARL OF SURREY AND THIRD DUKE OF NORFOLK, 1474—c. 1525 being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Susan Elisabeth Vokes, B.A. September, 1988 Acknowledgements I should like to thank the University of Hull for my postgraduate scholarship, and the Institute of Historical Research and Eliot College, the Universiy of Kent, for providing excellent facilities in recent years. I am especially grateful to the Duke of Norfolk and his archivists for giving me access to material in his possession. The staff of many other archives and libraries have been extremely helpful in answering detailed enquiries and helping me to locate documents, and / regret that it is not possible to acknowledge them individually. I am grateful to my supervisor, Peter Heath, for his patience, understanding and willingness to read endless drafts over the years in which this study has evolved. Others, too, have contributed much. Members of the Russell/Starkey seminar group at the Institute of Historical Research, and the Late Medieval seminar group at the University of Kent made helpful comments on a paper, and I have benefitted from suggestions, discussion, references and encouragement from many others, particularly: Neil Samman, Maria Dowling, Peter Gwynn, George Bernard, Greg Walker and Diarmaid MacCulloch. I am particularly grateful to several people who took the trouble to read and comment on drafts of various chapters. Margaret Condon and Anne Crawford commented on a draft of the first chapter, Carole Rawcliffe and Linda Clerk on my analysis of Norfolk's estate accounts, Steven Ellis on my chapters on Surrey in Ireland and in the north of England, and Roger Virgoe on much of the thesis, including all the East Anglian material.
