Built
1701-3, this baroque mansion, set in a stunning landscape
park, has become famous as a graphic illustration of
the English country house in decline. Little restored,
the house contains the spectacular natural history collection
of the Harpur Crewe family, as well as a magnificent
18th-century state bed and interiors that are essentially
unchanged since the 1880s
