Historic Houses in Yorkshire

A lovely Georgian country house in glorious parkland, Sutton was built around 1730 by Thomas Atkinson for Philip Harland. The interiors contain a collection of fine art and furniture from the former Buckingham House in London (now Buckingham Palace). The decoration features ornate plasterwork by Giuseppe Cortese, who also worked on Burton Constable Hall and Somerset House in Halifax.
