FAIRFAX HOUSE

This beautiful dilapidated has since the 1740 s been the absolute refinement in terms of Georgian architecture. Designed by John Carr as a winter villa of Viscount Fairfax, she served at the pastoral receptions, which explains all her greatness. Proud of his wealth and taste, the master of the house made places the conspicuous reflection of his culture and social status. The figures of Shakespeare and Newton lie on the staircase with kindness, symbolizing the meeting of the Arts and Science. The furniture is impressive and includes the collection of Noel Terry, bequeathed to his death in 1980. Owner of the same name, made in York between 1886 and 2004, he asked connoisseurs to acquire with his fortune what was best done in the th century.
