\t\t\t\tTemple Newsam\u00a0is a\u00a0Tudor-Jacobean\u00a0house with grounds landscaped by\u00a0Capability Brown, in\u00a0Leeds.\u00a0The house and estate are owned by\u00a0Leeds City Council\u00a0and open to the public. The estate is made up of much woodland, (the second largest part of the\u00a0Forest of Leeds)\u00a0many areas of which join on to the surrounding estates of Leeds. There are facilities for sports including football, golf, running, cycling, horse-riding and orienteering. There is also a park for children to go and enjoy themselves in.\u00a0The house has recently undergone substantial restoration to its exterior. There is an established programme of restoring rooms back to known previous configurations, reversing the numerous intrusive installations and modifications that took place during the building’s “art museum” phase. There are substantial holdings of fine and decorative art which are Designated by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport as being of national significance. Temple Newsam House is one of Leeds Museums and Galleries sites, and has an international reputation for scholarship and research, unusual in a local authority museum service.\u00a0The\u00a0Home Farm, open to the public, has a barn built in 1694 and is the largest working rare breeds farm in Europe, and only one of 16 nationally approved by the\u00a0Rare Breeds Survival Trust. Breeds include\u00a0Gloucester,\u00a0Kerry,\u00a0Irish Moiled,\u00a0Red Poll,\u00a0White Park,\u00a0British White,\u00a0Beef Shorthorn\u00a0and\u00a0Belted Galloway\u00a0cattle;\u00a0Kerry Hill,\u00a0Whitefaced Woodland\u00a0and\u00a0Portland\u00a0sheep, and\u00a0Golden Guernsey\u00a0goats.\u00a0The house is a Grade I\u00a0listed building, defined as a “building of outstanding or national architectural or historic interest”. The stables are Grade II listed, and ten separate features of the estate are Grade II listed, including the Sphinx Gates and the Barn.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
