I don't think so -unless I missed it as well. It's a stately home isn't it? What makes you think they may have been there? Is there some mystery there that needs looking into?

Oh, and welcome to the forum!

The only Harewood House connection I can think of was that episode of the House Hunters programme that Carenza took part in a few years ago - if my memory is not letting me down Big Grin

Thanks for the Link Kevmar.
Still can't find the episode or any real ref to it. Her indoors is sure she watched a dig on it once quite a while ago. Medieval she thinks.
Thanks for the welcome all... Smile

May have been this programme?

House Detectives At Large is a BBC production for BBC TWO.

Harewood House

In the first programme in the series, House Detectives At Large uncovers the secrets of Harewood House in Yorkshire, one of Britain’s most beautiful stately homes. In 1738 Edwin Lascelles inherited the equivalent of £30 million from his ambitious father Henry, a sugar trader in the Carribbean. Edwin built Harewood House to reflect his new wealth and social standing, bringing together some of the greatest talents of the age: John Carr, Capability Brown, Thomas Chippendale and Robert Adams.

Beyond the guidebook splendour there is still much to learn about the house’s history. Using their specialist knowledge, the House Detectives start to unravel some of the mysteries surrounding this fantastic palace. Carenza Lewis explores the grounds in search of the Temple of Venus, with only architects’ drawings to go on. Anna Bennett investigates Harewood’s interiors, including paintings by Turner, and turns up a possible Chippendale chair discarded in the attic, which could be worth £200,000. And Dan Cruickshank journeys to the Caribbean to investigate the Barbados connection.

Along the way they make some exciting discoveries: a key to the gardens of Buckingham Palace and artefacts that shed light on the whereabouts of the missing temple. In Barbardos, Dan searches for the exact site of the Lascelles’ sugar factories and meets a descendant of a Harewood plantation worker. With the help of the House Detectives At Large, Lord and Lady Harewood can start to unlock the secrets of Harewood House. Smile

I wondered if perhaps Terry's 'er indoors may have been thinking of the Castle Howard episode? TT were looking for remains of the medieval village which was swept away prior to construction of the House....
