Rokeby Park, Palladian country house in Rokeby, England
The main residential building stands as a central cube flanked by offices and stables, creating a symmetrical northern courtyard entrance pattern.
The property changed ownership from the Rokeby family to the Robinsons during James I's reign, following the destruction of an earlier structure by Scottish forces.
The residence gained literary recognition through Sir Walter Scott's 1812 narrative poem Rokeby, which used the estate as its primary setting.
The house remains a private residence but welcomes visitors on designated days, with guided tours revealing the architectural features and historical collections.
The saloon contains a reproduction of the famous Rokeby Venus painting, originally housed here before its transfer to the National Gallery in London.
