Hidden beneath the grand Georgian façades and elegant interiors of Temple Newsam lies an extraordinary Tudor past waiting to be rediscovered.

Step back to the 1500s as we peel away the later centuries to uncover the Tudor mansion that once stood at the heart of Temple Newsam. Explore surviving architectural traces, hear stories of the families who shaped the estate during one of the most dramatic periods in English history, and imagine the bustle, intrigue, and transformation that unfolded within these walls. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a Tudor devotee, or simply curious about how buildings evolve across centuries, this tour uncovers a Temple Newsam you’ve never seen before. Join us on a journey through time as we search for the Tudor house and bring its forgotten world back to life.
