| Summary |
Features Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire. Built in 1599, the property has survived largely intact and untouched since its completion. Its fabulous symmetry, grandeur and grace is still apparent for all to see. Every wall in this Elizabethan palace is breathtakingly covered in a tapestry or frieze of the highest quality whilst the living space is adorned with vast fireplaces, majestic furniture and a world-renowned collection of embroidery. Unlike any other property in the National Trust’s care, Hardwick Hall is the story of a remarkable woman who through astute marriages, political skill, huge business acumen and entrepreneurship rose to become the most powerful woman in England after Queen Elizabeth. This is the story of Bess of Hardwick and the remarkable house she built and how her legacy lives on and is preserved today by the National Trust |
