Fountains Hall, House museum in Lindrick with Studley Royal, England
The limestone building features symmetrical wings, five-story towers, and intricate details including fluted Ionic columns and ornate balcony balustrades.
Stephen Proctor constructed Fountains Hall between 1598 and 1611, using stones from the nearby Fountains Abbey after purchasing the estate in 1597.
The great chamber contains a decorative chimney piece with strapwork and caryatids, while the ceiling reproduces patterns from the Canonbury Tower.
The National Trust manages the property, offering visitors access to the oak-paneled stone hall, exhibition room, and holiday accommodations in converted apartments.
Prince Charles stayed at Fountains Hall during his 1604 journey from Dunfermline Palace to London, amid a local feud between Proctor and Sir John Yorke.
