BRAMHAM CUM OGLETHORPE: Leeds Parish #23 of 38

This is located in something known as the Golden Triangle, a term commonly used by estate agents for the area of West and North Yorkshire lying between Harrogate, York and the North of Leeds. Former pupils of the now closed college formed Bradford Football Club in 1863 – the club which would go on to be the modern day Bradford Park Avenue. As well as the Great North Road it sits on the Roman road from York through Tadcaster to Ilkley giving it another historical facet goes back to Roman times. It has a Grade I listed country house surrounded by a 200 hectare landscaped park ornamented by a series of follies and avenues. The estate would pass into the hands of his son-in-Law George Fox-Lane, who was given the re-created title of Baron Bingley in 1763. Today it remains a private residence while the park is the setting for the annual Horse Trials and the Leeds Festival, which moved here in 2003. There’s RAF history here, there was a battle here and there’s oodles of other interesting little bits to talk about here. It’s got everything, and then a bit more. This is the wonderful corner of Leeds which goes by the name BRAMHAM CUM OGLETHORPE. **** My name is Andy. I am armed with a car, a GoPro and an unhealthy amount of time on my hands.
