Nostell, Wakefield WF4 1QT
Nostell is a Palladian mansion designed in part by Robert Adam, and its interiors hold an important collection of Chippendale furniture commissioned specifically for the house - a rare case of furniture and architecture surviving together as originally intended. That combination of Adam's architectural design and Chippendale's craftsmanship makes it a significant stop for anyone interested in 18th-century design at its most accomplished. The scale of the collection sets it apart from many houses of similar size.
