Of national significance

As part of our special partnership with the National Portrait Gallery, we have over 100 18th-century portraits on display. Wander through the beautiful Baroque mansion and see pictures of some of the most fashionable and influential people of the period. Although not all of them will have visited Beningbrough, they will all have been very well known to those who did.

Explore the themes of the portraits further in our interactive galleries upstairs.
