Newby Hall & Gardens

One of Britain’s finest Adam Houses Newby Hall, the family home of Mr & Mrs Richard Compton, is one of England's renowned Adam houses and an exceptional example of 18th century interior decoration. Built in the 1690's in the style of Sir Christopher Wren the house was later enlarged and adapted by John Carr and subsequently Robert Adam.
 
The superb contents of the house, collected by Weddell, ancestor of the Compton family, on the Grand Tour include the magnificent Gobelins Tapestry Room, a renowned gallery of classical statuary and some of Chippendale’s finest furniture.  The House also boasts a rather unusual collection of chamber pots!
