[NT] Hardwick Hall. (10)
The National Trust's Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire is an architecturally significant country house from the Elizabethan era, a leading example of the Elizabethan prodigy house. Built between 1590 and 1597 for Bess of Hardwick, it was designed by the architect Robert Smythson, an exponent of the Renaissance style.
The towers of Hardwick Hall are all crowned by Bess’s initials, ‘ES’ (Elizabeth Shrewsbury), surmounted by a countess’s coronet.
It's a Grade 1 Listed Building.
