Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlaxton_Manor

"Harlaxton Manor is a Victorian country house in Harlaxton, Lincolnshire, England. The house was built for Gregory Gregory, a local squire and businessman. Gregory employed two of the leading architects of Victorian England, Anthony Salvin and William Burn and consulted a third, Edward Blore, during its construction. Its architecture, which combines elements of Jacobean and Elizabethan styles with Baroque decoration, makes it unique among England's Jacobethan houses. Harlaxton is a Grade I listed building on the National Heritage List for England, and many other structures on the estate are also listed. The surrounding park and gardens are listed Grade II* on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. It is now the British campus of the University of Evansville.

Harlaxton is now owned by the University of Evansville, operating as Harlaxton College, and is the base for their study-abroad programme.[5] A number of other American universities also use the estate. Evansville began using the property in 1971 as its British campus, but it was bought personally by William Ridgway, a trustee of the university, and held by him until he donated it to the university in 1986.[20] Immediately after the purchase the university began renovating the entire facility.[a][16] Since 1984, Harlaxton Manor has also been the site of the annual Harlaxton Medieval Symposium, an interdisciplinary symposium on medieval art, literature and architecture.[21] The house and gardens are occasionally opened for public tours.[22]

The manor is a popular location for filming. Exterior and interior shots have featured in The Ruling Class,[24] The Last Days of Patton,[25] The Lady and the Highwayman, The Haunting,[24] The Young Visiters[26] and The Secret Garden.[27]"

"The Gardens:

With French terraces, an Italian garden, and a Dutch canal, the gardens at Harlaxton Manor are a feast for the senses.

Manicured lawns, blooming flowers and sculpted trees decorate the rolling hills that wrap around the manor, creating a spectacular backdrop.

The gardens also include an incredible 19th century conservatory where orange trees and tropical plants grow, some of which were donated by the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew.

Harlaxton Manor's staterooms are the perfect space for any event. The rooms offer the flexibility and versatility you need to create your dream event.

Each space flows perfectly into the next with each room just as stunning as the one before."
