Sutton Scarsdale Hall

Located in Derbyshire this is the shell of a once very fine country house. Remodelled in 1724 by Francis Smith for the 4th Earl of Scarsdale. It came into the ownership of Richard Arkwright (son of the Cromford Mill Arkwrights) in 1824 and remained in their family until 1920. Afterwards, dismantling and years of neglect led to the hall's present state and it is now in the care of English Heritage.
