During the 20th century the National Trust took a number of Yorkshire country houses under its wing. The house at Beningbrough, near York, was one of them – though there were a few anxious moments along the way.
John Bourchier built the red brick Beningbrough Hall with architectural details in stone around 1716. Very little is known about its building history other than the work was supervised by York carpenter/architect Wiliam Thornton. Whilst advice on the more Italianate of Beningbrough’s features was possibly given by amateur gentleman British architect, Thoms Archer, there is a strong supposition that John Bourchier himself influenced the house’s overall Baroque design.
Transforming the Hall and adapting it to their personal, lavish taste with pictures, furnishings and carvings, it became a great period of restoration for the property. Lord Chesterfield spent much of his time in London leaving his wife in the north. They had no children.
