 Harlaxton landscape - John Claudius Loudon
The parish of Harlaxton, being remote from any public road, has been scarcely at all noticed in topographical works, and there is no county history.
As a proof of this, it may be observed, that, notwithstanding the great taste which has prevailed for a number of years past for publications containing engravings of manorial buildings, the unique specimen of Harlaxton Manor-House has not, as far as we know, been either described or engraved.
This manor-house is situated in the bottom of a rich valley, close by a small rill of fine water.

 Jeffrey Carlyle - Jeff in England
The majority of Harlaxton students are from UE; however, UE has arrangements with a number of other schools, including Baker University; the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire; and others to send students, so there are also a number of non-UE students at Harlaxton each semester.
Students at Harlaxton also have a tendency to face depression at Harlaxton; for some it is the initial shock of being that far away from home; for others it is the doldrums of mid-semester that cause the depression; and for others it is the sadness of leaving that brings about their bout with depression.
Harlaxton also has the tendency to be rather boring throughout the week.

 Harlaxton Manor - John Claudius Loudon
We had heard much of this place from various architects and amateurs for several years; and an accidental circumstance having brought us in communication with its proprietor, Gregory Gregory, Esq., that gentleman kindly acceded to our wish to see the works going forward on the new site chosen by him for the family residence.
Gregory resides at Hungerton Hall, about five miles from Grantham, and his building and gardening operations are carrying on in a striking situation on the side of a hill, between Hungerton and Grantham, near the ancient village of Harlaxton, as well as in that village.
The improvements consist of the erection of a large mansion in the style of James I., the laying out of gardens around it in the geometric style, and the picturesque decoration of the village.

As a part of this history marking ceremony for the English manor house built by Gregory Gregory, the Great Hall — a grand hall nearly as big as two football fields and historically known as the Baron’s Hall — was renamed the Ridgway Great Hall in honor of William Ridgway.
Ridgway, a member of the University’s Board of Trustees, purchased the manor in 1978, six years after the University began leasing the property and using it as a study abroad campus.
He later presented the Manor and property to the University for its use as a permanent study abroad campus.

 Blueprints of Harlaxton Manor - Castle Quest
posted 01-29-2002 01:59 PM From what I can gather, it is a Victorian manor house, though the manor (college) web page internal links are not working, and the page with the ground floor plan is not on-line at the moment.
The house was built between 1832 and 1844 by Anthony Salvin followed by William Burn in 1838, for Mr Gregory Gregory (1786-1854).
It would appear therefore, that it is not a castle, nor even that it replaced one.
