Britain's What's On Event Guide
Pippbrook House
Heritage Open Day: Explore the extraordinary mansion created by George Gilbert Scott that divides opinion: Gothic horror or work of beauty and craft? Built in 1856, Pippbrook House is a Grade II* listed country mansion with richly decorated interiors and beautiful wood carvings.
There has been a house on the estate since perhaps the late 14th century with the present house designed by George Gilbert Scott for William Henry Forman, a wealthy ironworks owner from Doncaster. A large portion of the house was given over to a museum wing, where William displayed the extensive private collection of art and antiquities he and his late brother had amassed.
