244-Revolution House-
Revolution House is a small stone cottage, which is now a museum.[7] This was the meeting-place of the Earl of Danby, Mr. John D'Arcy and the Earl of Devonshire[7] when poor weather caused them to move their secret meeting inside. William Cavendish, the fourth Earl and later Duke of Devonshire, lived nearby at Chatsworth House, which is still the home to the Cavendish family. John D'Arcy (or Darcy) was the fourth son of the Earl of Holderness.
This group devised the plans to extend the invitation to William of Orange in 1688, so that the Whig party brought about the fall of James II and the succession of the Protestant William III. This change in the monarchy came to be known as the Glorious Revolution.
The Revolution House is at the top of our road.
