Bramham Park is a country house
between Leeds and Wetherby, West
Yorkshire, England. The Baroque
mansion was built in 1698 by Robert
Benson, 1st Baron Bingley. It has
remained in the ownership of
Benson's descendents since its
completion in 1710. The house is
surrounded by a landscaped park
ornamented by a series of follies
and avenues laid out in the 18th
century landscape tradition.
Following a fire in 1828 the house
was derelict for 80 years until
restored under the supervision of
the architect Detmar Blow circa
1908. The house is named after the
nearby village of Bramham.
Today
it remains a private residence,
while the park is the setting for
the annual Bramham Horse Trials and
Leeds Festival. Its grounds (over
400 acres (1.6 km2) in total) are
used for various events, including
the Leeds Festival, and the Bramham
Horse Trials. A more restricted area
of the grounds are kept as gardens
and run as a tourist attraction -
visitors can also tour the house but
only in pre-arranged parties. The
present owners of the house are The
Lane-Foxes.
