Medieval Harewood: Gawthorpe Dig Tours
Monday 2 July 2012 - Sunday 2 September 2012
Daily at 3.30pm
As part of Medieval Harewood, we are currently excavating the site of Gawthorpe Hall, the medieval manor house which stood here before Harewood House was built.
Gawthorpe Hall is situated to the south of where Harewood House now stands. It was built in the 13th century by the Gascoigne family and was occupied by the same family for 13 generations. In the 16th century Gawthorpe passed to the Wentworth family who sold the estate to Sir John Culter in 1657. Gawthorpe was demolished in 1774 after the new Harewood House was built.
Our free daily dig tours give you an opportunity to view the dig and learn more about what the archaeology team have unearthed. Tours take place daily at 3.30pm and last half an hour, meet at the Information Centre.
You can also visit the dig to see the archaeology in action. Click here to read more...
