Nostell
National Trust Nostell or Nostell Priory is a beautiful estate in Yorkshire, England that is open to the public.
The estate was built in the 18th century by members of the Wright family and it is now owned by the National Trust. There are many different attractions on the estate, including a house, a garden, and a chapel.
The Grade I listed house at Nostell is a beautiful example of Georgian architecture and it has been furnished with period pieces from the 18th and 19th centuries. The garden is also worth exploring, as it features a number of interesting plants and trees. Finally, the chapel is perhaps the most interesting attraction on the estate. It was designed by Robert Adam and it contains some beautiful paintings and sculptures.
Overall, National Trust Nostell is a great place to visit if you’re interested in Georgian architecture, gardens, or art.
Built between 1736-1750, for Sir Rowland Winn by James Paine and completed by Robert Adam Nostell is constructed of Sandstone Ashlar with stone slate roof. Originally planned to be much larger, only part of the design was actually built - half of which has since been removed to leave the house we see today.
