Gosford House Tours

Gosford’s architectural past is a story in itself. The original plans for the house drawn by Robert Adam were much altered following his premature death, only a year into the project. Completed in 1808, its original wings were taken down, only to be rebuilt years later, with a grand Marble Hall, arguably the most arresting of the house’s fine features. Completed in 1891 by William Young for the 10th Earl of Wemyss, it rises to a height of three storeys, with a magnificent double staircase leading to a surrounding picture gallery. Occupied by the army during WWII, the house suffered severe damage due to a fire and damage caused by its occupants. Most of the artefacts and artwork survived but conservation has since remained a priority.
