[136236] Wentworth Woodhouse : Pillared Hall

            Wentworth Woodhouse, Wentworth, South Yorkshire.
Grade l listed.
The Pillared Hall. 
This Palladian space with its Tuscan columns remains the backdrop for a series of 18th century neoclassical statues.

Wentworth Woodhouse was built for Thomas Watson-Wentworth, 1st Marquess of Rockingham (1693-1750) from circa 1725, the work continuing over four decades, and then passed to the Fitzwilliam family. The house is now owned by the Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust whose sole purpose is regeneration of the site for the benefit of South Yorkshire.

The east front was commenced by Ralph Tunnicliffe (d1736). His scheme was revised and completed by Henry Flitcroft (1697-1769) who continued on the interiors for Charles Watson-Wentworth, 2nd Marquess of Rockingham (1730-1782). 
John Carr worked for the 2nd Marquess prior to heightening the service wings for William Wentworth-Fitzwilliam, 4th Earl Fitzwilliam (1748-1833).
