專家說明

Sledmere House, Sledmere, Yorkshire, was built in 1751 and was greatly extended in the 1780s by Sir Christopher Sykes, 2nd Baronet (1749-1801). A catastrophic fire in 1911 left the house a shell and destroyed the Adam inspired interiors. These were restored along with the long library, which is today, known as one of the most beautiful rooms in England. Sledmere House is currently the home of Sir Tatton Sykes, 8th Baronet.
