Britain has more historic houses, great and small, that are open to the public than anywhere else in the world. Stately homes, ruined castles and abbeys, merchants’ mansions, peasant cottages – the stories of such buildings and their occupants, past and present, add up to an extraordinary record of our history.

Author Simon Jenkins is a leading writer on this rich heritage. Here we present his vision of Yorkshire’s 92 most impressive, interesting or unusual dwellings – from Castle Howard and magnificent Harewood to Wilberforce House in Hull and the Bronte parsonage at Haworth – enhanced with photographs selected by the editors of Reader’s Digest.
