A Grade I listed Tudor building near Coxwold, North Yorkshire, steeped in history and set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the house provides uninterrupted views across the lake to the Hambleton Hills and the White Horse of Kilburn. With a character and charm all their own the house and grounds have an intriguing past with links to the English military and political figure Oliver Cromwell. The Priory benefits from almost 40 acres of landscaped gardens surrounding the house, while its formal lawns, topiary and borders create a breathtaking location for your special day. Dotted throughout the grounds are also several hidden romantic gardens, such as the magical Water Garden and the Walled Garden with roses tumbling over archways leading to the lily pond. Elegant and south-facing, the Large Drawing Room with its magnificent Cortese ceiling offers a grand, yet welcoming, setting for a ceremony. Proceeding down the central aisle to the bow-fronted windows looking out to the gardens beyond, framed by two pillars, it makes for a spectacular start to the day. It can host 100 loved ones. The Small Drawing Room is a beautiful space with delicate plaster ceiling and wealth of portraits with room for 40 nearest and dearest. It also makes for a quiet retreat as well as a beautiful location for group photos. The Long Gallery Ruins allow you to enjoy a blessing or humanist ceremony in their midst for an indoor/outdoor wedding. Choose to say your vows here and do the legal formalities in one of the three licensed Georgian rooms, the local church or elsewhere, then you and 200 of your loved ones can enjoy an informal gathering in the great outdoors. A marquee will also nestle nicely here allowing you to enjoy your dinner and dancing surrounded by the ruined walls, a dramatic and memorable setting. Finally, with the house as the backdrop together with views over the spectacular parkland, The Ancient Lawns is the perfect spot for those requiring a little more room with space for up to 300 guests in a marquee. https://bloomweddings.co.uk https://bloomweddings.co.uk https://bloomweddings.co.uk 17 UNDER CANVAS
