Event - Hovingham Hall

About

Join us for a private tour of Hovingham Hall, a beautiful family home, 17 miles north of York. It was designed and built by Thomas Worsley c1770 and was the childhood home of the late Duchess of Kent. The house has an important collection of furniture and pictures and includes a magnificent domed ceiling, a bust of Oliver Cromwell, (an ancestor of the Worsleys), an enormous riding school, a seventeenth century dovecot and the oldest continuously played on cricket ground in England. The attractive gardens and the adjacent parish church, with Worsley memorials are well worth a visit after the house tour.
