Inside Duncombe Park Grounds | Georgian English Country House

Duncombe Park House in Helmsley is one of my favourite Georgian Period English Country Houses in Yorkshire, if not England. Sadly, however I think the house is largely unknown.

When I visited this spectacular Stately Home in late July I took along my Fujifilm XT-30 mirrorless camera and put together this short cinematic video.

The music was provided by the talented music producer 'Got Jump'. Please check out his music here:

A little bit about Duncombe Park -

Whilst the house is not ordinarily open to the public, the grounds are gardens are accessible from Mid-June, through till the end of August.

The grounds are also pretty extensive and incorporate immaculately looked after grass terraces, classical temples and extensive gardens and woodland walks to explore.

Duncombe Park is the family seat of the Duncombe family. Now, the massive Helmsley estate was first purchased in 1694 by Banking magnate Charles Duncombe – Also considered England's richest commoner at the time of his death in 1711. The magnificent house we know today however, was built by Charles's nephew Thomas between 1713 and 1730.

Built to the fabulous designs of Sir William Wakefield, with apparent input from John Vanbrugh (think castle Howard), two adjoining stable block also were added in 1843 by Charles Barry. The house was rebuilt 1895 following a devastating fire and what stands today is what I consider one of the most fabulous stately homes in the country.

I'd love to be able to tell you about the interiors but sadly I've never been inside. Maybe I'll be invited for a tour one day……….please.
