One of
Britain's greatest and most complete Elizabethan houses, a spectacular
Tudor treasure house. Built for 'Bess of Hardwick', Elizabethan
England's second most powerful and wealthy woman. There are outstanding
16th- and 17th-century tapestries and embroideries. Set in rolling
parkland, the house with its glittering tiers of windows and
crowned turrets, sits like a huge glass lantern. The letters
" ES "can be seen carved in stone on the outside of
the house, her name strictly being "Elizabeth of Shrewsbury".
