Grimston Park

Situated in the picturesque North Yorkshire countryside, Grimston Park is a grade II listed Georgian property and estate.

The settlement has existed since Viking times and has been occupied by various owners over the centuries including the Vavasours, Fairfaxes and in the 17th century, the Stanhope family who in 1603 entertained James I of England at Grimston.

In 1839, John Hobart Caradoc, the second Lord Howden, acquired the property following his father’s death and commissioned English architect, Decimus Burton, to rebuild the house. His brief included redesigning the old house in an Italianate style.
