Historical Description

Harewood is a very pleasant little town, on the river Wharfe, over which is a stone bridge of four arches. The river itself runs over a bed of stone, and is as clear as rock-water.

Harewood church is situated at a small distance from Harewood-House; it is an ancient and venerable structure, surrounded by a thick grove of trees. In the choir are six altar tombs of white marble, with fine whole length figures of ancient owners of the manor, and among them that of Sir William Gascoigne of Gawthorpe, who had the courage to commit Prince Henry, afterwards King Henry V. to the king’s bench, for affronting him while he was in the seat of justice, letting him know, that though the son might bear the image of the king’s person, the judge bore that of his authority: and which act the prince, when he came to be king, with true greatness of mind not only forgave, but commended. Sir William also shewed his integrity and intrepid spirit, by refusing to pass a sentence upon Richard Scroop, Archbishop of York, on a charge of high treason.

Near Harewood church is a most sumptuous house called Gawthorpe Hall, the ancient seat of the Gascoignes, now that of R. Shuttleworth, Esq. It is built of fine hewn stone, is very large, and has two grand fronts. The south front is ornamented with a noble portico and pediment, supported by pillars. This house stands on the side of a hill, and is to be seen to great advantage from a hill upon the road, a little beyond the sixth mile stone from Leeds. The stables form a large courtyard with cloisters. In order to have agreeable objects in view, several neat farmhouses have been erected on various parts of the estate near the mansion.

The dilapidated state in which Harewood castle is seen at present, renders it impossible to describe its ancient form and construction; but it must have been considerable when entire, as an acre of ground around its remains are covered with half-buried walls and fragments of ruins.

Harewood House, though not the largest, is as completely furnished and fitted up, as any in the kingdom. The rooms are well arranged; and, while they are equal to what may be styled grand in a dwelling-house, are not so great as to exclude comfort.

The park, grounds, and water, were laid out by Mr. Brown, and discover the master. Though the prospect is not very extensive, the rising brow in the front of the house, with its plantations, buildings, and the water beneath it, afford a very pleasing view. The architect of this fine house was Mr. Carr of York, whose great genius, taste, and skill in his profession, stand in no need of encomiums here.

This seat is about the distance of eight miles from Otley, and somewhat more than six from Leeds. The foundation was laid in the year 1760, by the late Lord Harewood, and it is built of a very fine stone taken from a quarry near the place. The building displays all the richness of Corinthian architecture, and the apartments, finished in the highest style of elegance and taste, are richly ornamented. The pleasure-grounds are extensive, and the noble owner permits the house to be viewed every Saturday, by tourists, and persons of decent appearance.

To the north of Harewood, before you come to the bridge, is a fine view of the river Wharfe, above which are large remains of an ancient castle, which at the Conquest belonged to Romille, whose daughter married Meschines, from whom it came to the Delisles, thence to Sir William Aldburgh, and by marriage to the Redmans, who inhabited it as their principal mansion in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and have a monument in the church. The castle, from its present remains, appears to have consisted of a square centre, a north wing oblong, and two square towers at the southeast and southwest corners. The grand entrance was on the east side through a square tower, a little to the north of the centre of that side. This gate was just high enough for a man to enter on horseback: within the gate is a groove for a portcullis. In the hall there is a rich recess near the west wall, in the manner of a monument; the arch in the centre has many turns, with ornamental spandrels and ornaments in the entablature.

In the room over the porch, on the east side, which is supposed to be the chapel, built in the time of Richard II. are carved in stone the arms of Sutton, Baliol, Thweng, Bordesly or Grauncester, Constable, Ross, and Vipont.

About halfway between Harewood and Tadcaster, two miles to the right of our road, is Bramham Moor, where a battle was fought in 1408, between a party of the royal troops under Sir Thomas Rokeby, sheriff of Yorkshire, and the Earl of Northumberland. The earl was prepared for the attack, but his followers were soon defeated. Lord Bardolph was killed on the field. The Abbot of Hales, being taken in armour, was hanged: the Bishop of Bangor’s life was spared, though taken in the field, because he was dressed in his episcopal habit. Celts have been found in Bramham Moor.

Topography of Great Britain (1829) by George Alexander Cooke

HAREWOOD is a parish and village and polling place for the Eastern division of the Riding, 8 miles north from Leeds, 8 east from Otley, 7 south from Harrogate and 4 from Arthington station on the North Eastern railway, partly in the upper division of the wapentake of Skyrack and partly in the upper and partly in the lower division of Claro wapentake, Wetherby union and county court district, rural deanery of Whitkirk, archdeaconry of Craven and diocese of Ripon, situated on the declivities of Wharfedale, a mile from the river Wharfe. East Keswick, Weardley, Wigton and part of Wike are townships in this parish. The church of All saints is a very old stone building of Pre-Reformation date, in the Late Perpendicular style, consisting of chancel, nave, aisles, transept and square tower containing 3 bells, restored in 1862—3 by Sir G. G. Scott R.A. chiefly at the expense of the Earl of Harewood: at the east end of south aisle is a monument to Chief Justice Sir William Gascoigne, ob. 1412: there are also 5 tombs with recumbent figures of knights in armour with their ladies, and one on the north of the chancel, belonging to the families of Redmayne and Ryther: the east window, representing the history of our Lord, is a fine piece of workmanship, erected in 1855. The register dates from the year 1614, and is in good condition. The living is a vicarage, yearly value £447, with residence, in the alternate gift of the parishioners and the family of the Wheelers and held by the Rev. Miles Atkinson M.A. of Queen’s College, Oxford. There is a chapel for Wesleyans. A Literary and scientific Institution has been established some years and now possesses a library of about 1,400 volumes. Here are small charities for the poor and apprentice fees. Harewood Castle, built in the Conqueror’s time, the ruins of which are now covered with ivy, stands on a hill and commands a fine prospect. Harewood House, the seat of the Earl of Harewood, is a noble mansion in the Corinthian style, situate in a beautiful park of 1,800 acres, containing a large lake: the first stone was laid in 1759, and the building cost £100,000; the late Earl expended large sums in beautifying and improving this domain, the scenery of which is very picturesque; the park adjoins the village, and is open to the public on Thursdays only. The Earl of Harewood is lord of the manor and chief landowner. Manorial courts are held in October. The soil is rich; the subsoil, sand and rock. The chief crops are wheat, barley and turnips. The population of the township in 1871 was 765, and the area 3,654 acres; rateable value, £5,582; the population of the entire parish was 2,171 and the area 11,639 acres.
