Images from a visit (towards the end of 2023) to Brodsworth Hall, Rotherham, North Yorkshire, England.
Due to a hitch involving us checking the web site information before we left home on a short tour, the main house interior had closed for the winter and only the servants quarters were open for viewing by the time of our visit. Also - as things usually go on our travels - despite leaving our campsite under sunny, clear blue skies, it was foggy and thoroughly miserable as we arrived here for our mid-journey stop-off - and, by the time we left, it was raining with increasing enthusiasm (and we were thoroughly miserable!). We’ll be back…

1. Brodsworth Hall was built between 1861 and 1863 for Charles Sabine Thellusson, whose great-grandfather Peter Thellusson, a merchant and banker, had bought the estate in 1791.
2. As the family’s fortune diminished, the house and gardens gradually fell into decline and disrepair. In 1990 they were given to English Heritage and almost all of the house contents were bought by the National Heritage Memorial Fund and transferred to English Heritage.
3. Since then, the fragile house interiors have been conserved and the gardens gradually returned to their earlier formality, with Brodsworth being opened to the public in 1995.
4. Part of the servants quarters - be it ever so humble…
5. The Target House (previously known as the Archery House) was originally thatched. It was built to provide a place to rest and take refreshments, and sits at one end of the 525 foot long ‘Target Range’ - used by the family for archery (and for shooting practice by the Army during the Second World War).
6. The extensive Victorian pleasure gardens include winding walks which lead visitors through a number of quirky features.
