6. Gazetteer of Palladian buildings in the United Kingdom and Irish Republic
Introduction
The purpose of this gazetteer of selected buildings is to demonstrate the powerful influence
that Andrea Palladio and his followers exerted over architectural styles in the United Kingdom
and the Irish Republic in the late 17th
and 18th
centuries. Although many of the prime
examples of Palladian architecture (for example, Wanstead House, Nuthall Temple, and Foots
Cray Place) have long since disappeared, enough have survived the ravages of time to be
visited and enjoyed. The gazetteer also makes reference to a number of mid to late 20th
century domestic commissions for wealthy clients: these are not open to the public but show
that, at one level at least, the Palladian tradition lives on!
The gazetteer is in five sections – England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and the Irish
Republic, and within each section the entries are arranged by county or unitary authority,
although the complexities of local government administration since the many changes
introduced from 1974 have made it necessary to simplify the arrangement
Where a building accept visitors Visitor information provides a link to its website where
details of visiting hours, entrance charges and events are normally provided. In the case of
country houses, many of these are now in the care of the National Trust, others are privately
owned but are open to the public; there are however a number listed which are not open at all
for visitors because the owners do not wish to do so, or because they are have been converted
to others uses, for example, independent schools
As for the public buildings, for the most part they are still in use for the purpose for which they
were built (for example, town or shire halls), and not available for visitors unless for business
purposes, although a number, for example Liverpool Town Hall, offer special tours, perhaps
once a year
It is important to remember, that many the buildings, particularly the houses, are not as they
where when first designed and built. As ownership changed hands or a new generation of a
family took on responsibility for a house and its gardens, or fashions changed, then additions
and improvements were often made, thereby diluting or obscuring the Palladian influence. Any
buildings that have been so radically altered, or rebuilt perhaps after severe fire damage in
such a manner that there is little trace of the original have been excluded
Find out more provides bibliographical references for the visitor to find out more about any
the buildings in which he or she may be interested. The references include both books and
magazine articles, and primarily drawn from the pages of Country Life magazine, which from
1897 has been publishing regular features on country houses. This essential resource, as are
all the other magazine articles and books listed) is available for consultation without charge at
the British Architectural Library
(http://www.architecture.com/LibraryDrawingsAndPhotographs/Home.aspx)
RIBApix reference(s) provides the visitor with the reference numbers of any images relating
to the building included in the British Architectural Library’s growing image database RIBApix
(http://www.ribapix.com/). Enter the number in the Quick Search box and the image will be
displayed, usually a photograph or a drawing; it is also possible to purchase copies of any of
