Goodwood House

The Treasures of Goodwood: the best of England, Scotland and France. The Dukes of Richmond are the proud possessors of one of the finest and most representative of English art collections. Since the recent four year restoration by the Earl of March, son and heir to the present Duke, the walls are fully hung with both British and European paintings, and the rooms furnished with French and English furniture of the finest quality. The importance of the art collection of the Dukes of Richmond is further represented in the fact that Goodwood is one of a few great private houses to employ a full time curator. We welcome to the house visitors with a huge range of historical, artistic, and domestic interests, be it in kings and queens, marine paintings, women's lives, the Regency style, the Edwardian period, sporting art, landscape, the history of horseracing and the history of cricket. We hope to encourage your interests and to develop your enthusiasms.
