Castle Howard

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

' Nobody had informed me that at one view I should see a palace, a town, a fortified city, temples on high places, woods worthy of being each a metropolis of the Druids, the noblest lawn in the world fenced by half the horizon and a mausoleum that would tempt one to be buried alive.'
(HORACE WALPOLE)
Michael Oliver visits George Howard , the present owner of this great house in Yorkshire and the first building designed by the playwright Sir John Vanbrugh in 1699 - his genius now ' hugely turned to architecture '.
Producer JOHN POWELL
A Kaleidoscope production
