Easton Neston is a
country house near
Towcester, Northamptonshire, England, and is part of the
Easton Neston parish. It was designed in the
Baroque style by the architect
Nicholas Hawksmoor. Easton Neston is thought to be the only
mansion which was solely the work of Hawksmoor. From circa 1700 Hawksmoor was to work on many buildings, including
Castle Howard and
Blenheim Palace, with Sir
John Vanbrugh, often providing the technical knowledge to the less qualified Vanbrugh. Hawksmoor's work, even after their many collaborations, was always more classically severe than Vanbrugh's. However, Easton Neston predates this partnership by some six years. The house is a
Listed building Grade I.
