History
Goodwood House is a Grade I listed country house, set within a 4,900 hectares (49 km2) estate in Westhampnett, Chichester, West Sussex, England. The house in its present iteration is built around an existing Jacobean house, dating to 1617, to which a north and south wing were added during the eighteenth century. Since 1697, it has been the principal seat of the Dukes of Richmond. The estate hosts horse racing, motor racing and other events.
