Highclere Castle was remodeled and largely rebuilt for the third Earl of Carnarvon following a design by Sir Charles Barry in 1842-49 during his construction of the Houses of Parliament. It is in the Jacobethan style and faced in Bath stone, reflecting the Victorian revival of English architecture of the late 16th century and early 17th century, when Tudor architecture was being challenged by newly arrived Renaissance architecture influences. It was used as the main filming location for the Emmy Award-winning drama series Downton Abbey.
