Temple Newsam, Nr Leeds in West Yorkshire

In the Domesday Book the property is known as Neuhusam and was owned by Ilbert de Lacy. Before that it had been owned by Dunstan and Glunier, Anglo-Saxon thanes. Around 1155 it was given to the Knights Templar, who built Temple Newsam Preceptory some distance from the current house. It was then completely rebuilt in the Tudor times to what is there today.
