"Newby Hall, near Ripon, is the Yorkshire home of Mr & Mrs Richard Compton. This late 17th century house, with much of the interior later designed by Robert Adam, was built under the guidance of Sir Christopher Wren.
Newby Hall was built between 1691-1695 and shortly afterwards the owner, Sir Edward Blackett, commissioned Peter Aram as head gardener to lay out formal gardens and avenues in keeping with the period.
Very little of Aram's layout for Newby remains today and the present design is largely attributable to the present owner's grandfather, the late Major Edward Compton, who inherited Newby in 1921.
The garden have won the BTA Heritage Award acknowledging their outstanding contribution to tourism for the restoration of Newby Hall and Gardens and the HHA/Christie's Garden of the Year Award.
The gardens also hold the National Collection of Cornus (Dogwoods)."
