Visit to Broughton Estate, Skipton
We visited the private home of the Tempest Family.
The Club is very grateful to Wendy (Roger Tempest's PA) who showed us around the Hall and Estate.
Broughton Estate has been home to the Tempest family since 1097. The Tempest family are believed to have come to England from Normandy during William the conqueror 1066 invasion.
They were given land in the aftermath. Roger Tempest is the 32nd Tempest in a recorded line dating from the 12th century.
The Grade 1 listed hall dates back to 1597 and combines the work of several architects.
BHE - a beautiful historic home, purpose built modern venues, business park, offices and spectacular landscapes.
