Molly Kelly has been part of Harewood’s story for more than 36 years, including the last 25 years working closely with the Lascelles family.

Molly became Under Butler in 2001 before taking on the role of Butler in 2006, becoming one of the few women to hold the position at the time. During her years working at Harewood, Molly was based within the private apartments, caring for the 7th Earl and Countess of Harewood and developing an unparalleled understanding of the House, its collections and the traditions that continue to shape life at Harewood. 

Although the current Earl and Countess no longer reside at Harewood House, Molly continues to play an important role in caring for the private apartments and supporting the family. 

With a lifetime of knowledge and experience, Molly offers a unique perspective on Harewood’s history and the people who have shaped it. 

Join Molly during the Harewood 40 weekend for a special private apartment tour, offering a rare opportunity to explore these spaces with someone who has cared for them for decades.
