Join me at Scampston Hall, near Malton in North Yorkshire, for a journey through one of Yorkshire’s most elegant country estates.
This video explores the outside of the Hall, its landscaped setting, the story of the St Quintin family, and the late Georgian remodelling associated with architect Thomas Leverton. As filming inside the house was not possible, I have included artistic interior reconstructions inspired by the Hall’s rooms, historic references and late 18th-century country-house life.
We then move outside to the parkland connected with the age of Capability Brown, before entering Scampston’s celebrated Walled Garden, redesigned by Dutch garden designer Piet Oudolf. With its modern planting, grasses, perennials and seasonal structure, the garden gives this historic estate a striking contemporary chapter.
Featuring ground footage, aerial views, garden scenes and historical reconstructions.
