Rokeby Park
Rokeby Park

Rokeby Park is a Palladian country house built by Sir Thomas Robinson in 1735. Robinson was one of the leading amateur architects of his day, and at Rokeby he had a canvas suitable for his talents. He was encouraged in his efforts by Lord Burlington, who did much to promote the Palladian neoclassical style in England.
