More photos taken at Harewood House, that didn't make it on to my main blog. It's such a beautiful place that I wanted to share the pictures. For a bit more information, please refer to
my main blog and
Harewood's website.
This is Astrid's Zydower's statue of
Orpheus, placed on Harewood's Terrace in 1984.
A tantalising glimpse of the view over 'Capability' Brown's magnificent landscape, from inside the House.
One of the vast and gorgeous herbaceous borders.
A break for refreshment (and a bit of retail therapy) in the Coach House
Harewood's little church of All Saints, dating back in parts to the 15th century, is rarely used now, and is cared for by the
Churches Conservation Trust. It is rather plain and severe inside but holds some notable medieval tombs.
The alabaster effigies are interesting as they show previous owners of Harewood House dressed in the fashions of their day. This is
Sir William Gascoigne (d.1487) and his wife Margaret Percy. The church is also the burial place of HRH Princess Mary, daughter of King George V and her husband the 6th Earl of Harewood.
