About Us
One of the finest Georgian townhouses in England, Fairfax House transports you to the world of Georgian Britain and the splendour of city-living.
Originally the winter home of Anne Fairfax and her father – Charles Gregory, 9th Viscount Fairfax – the townhouse’s richly decorated interiors, magnificent stucco ceilings and beautiful collection of furniture and clocks unfold a story of life behind closed doors in the bustling Georgian city of York: the food, the fashions and the entertainments.
