Castle Howard, in Yorkshire, England. This structure was originally created by Charles Howard, the 3rd earl of Carlisle (1679 - 1738). Eight generations of the Howard family have since occupied Castle Howard: each bringing different characteristics to the stewarding of this grand house and estate through centuries of challenges and opportunities. Castle Howard 'played the part' of the Marchmain family home in the 1981 TV serialisation of Evelyn Waugh's novel Brideshead Revisited. It is difficult not to 'hear' Geoffrey Burgon's evocative music score when visiting the place.
