Synopsis
Uppark was built in 1690 for Ford Grey, Lord Grey of Warke, a man by all accounts, though he created a beautiful house. In 1747, Uppark was bought by Matthew Fetherstonuhaugh, who took advantage of an inheritance to furnish the rooms in the latest European fashion, and installed the paintings that he had collected on the Grand Tour.
