"THIS noble Mansion is situated in the West Riding of Yorkshire, about eight miles from Horrowgate Spa, and in the direct road from thence to Leeds; it is very large, extending in front 250 feet; and, for grandeur of style in the composition, and elegance of decorating and finishing, both externally and internally, deservedly ranks with the first buildings in this kingdom. The wings of the north front are enriched with emblematical medallions, executed in a masterly manner, by Collins, from the designs of Zucchi; in the centre is a handsome pediment, supported by six three-quarter Corinthian columns, 30 feet in height, which compose the entrance from a flight of steps to a noble hall, of the Doric order, decorated with statues, urns, &c. whence we are conducted through a range of apartments, furnished in the most magnificent manner.

Near this seat are the remains of Harewood Castle, a place of great antiquity. Also Harewood Church, containing many ancient monuments, among which is that of Lord Chief Justice Gascoigne, in the highest state of preservation. The Lordship of Harewood anciently belonged to the family of Gascoigne. At Gawthorpe, within the township of Harewood, resided the celebrated Chief Justice Gascoigne, who committed Prince Henry, (afterwards Henry V.) into the King's Bench Prison for striking him while on the Bench at Westminster Hall.-Gawthorpe, with the castle and honours of Harewood and all its dependencies, passed by marriage from the family of Gascoigne, to that of Wentworth, Earl of Stafford, in which family it continued during four generations, until the year 1656, when it was purchased by Sir John Cutler, who, conjointly with his friend and relative by marriage, Sir John Lewis, purchased Ledstone and Harewood.
