Fountains Hall
Fountains Hall is a striking Jacobean house raised around 1600, partly from stone plundered from the dissolved abbey it stands beside. Its symmetrical facade, tiers of mullioned windows and panelled great hall mark it as a confident statement of wealth in an age of upheaval. Standing in the World Heritage landscape of Studley Royal, it offers a calmer, more domestic counterpoint to the soaring abbey ruins close by.
