As it stood in 1790

What Woburn Abbey looked like in its prime.

Long, three-storey Palladian country house built in yellow-buff ashlar, with a central pedimented block flanked by lower linking ranges and two large block pavilions each set into recessed arched niches containing statues. A low stone balustrade terrace runs across the front above a broad gravel forecourt and clipped lawn. The roofline shows a shallow slate mansard with dormer windows and numerous tall, rectangular chimneys. Stone sash windows are regularly spaced across the façade.
