John Carr

by Diana Hardwick

John Carr, architect, Horbury’s most famous son. He designed many impressive houses such as Harewood House, public buildings such as the Crown Court in York, the Crescent at Buxton, many bridges still in use and the first “grandstand” – designed for York racecourse – an idea copied and used worldwide today. Diana Hardwick made this piece using stump work. A photograph cannot do justice to the clever way padding and various other techniques are used to give a 3D effect.
