The Chapel, Bramham Park, West Yorkshire

            Bramham Park is a Grade I listed 18th-century country house in Bramham, between Leeds and Wetherby, in West Yorkshire. 

The parkland surrounding the house contains a number of grade I listed ornamental structures. Situated at the rear of the house, the chapel was built around 1760 by James Paine for George Fox Lane in the local Magnesian limestone ashlar. It was constructed in the classical style as a single unit of 2 storeys and 3 bays and with a porch and four Ionic columns across the full width of ground floor. Originally built as a Palladian Temple it was later used as an Orangery, a summerhouse and then consecrated as a chapel around 1906.

The gardens are one of the most remarkable examples in England of the planning of a park in the French manner of Loiuis XIV. They are characterised by straight avenues flanked by beech trees and high clipped beech hedges, leading to such eye catchers as a vase on a pedestal or a temple or an obelisk.
