Renishaw, Derbyshire
Renishaw Hall
The house was built in 1625 by George Sitwell, a 17th-century landowner and ironmaster, and it has been the home of the Sitwell family since then – almost 400 years!
The Sitwell fortune was made as colliery owners and ironmasters from the 17th to the 20th centuries.
Substantial alterations and the addition of the west and east ranges were made to the building for Sir Sitwell Sitwell, (1st Baronet) by Joseph Badger of Sheffield between 1793 and 1808.
The hall is thought to have been the inspiration for Wragby Hall which features in D. H. Lawrence's novel Lady Chatterley’s Lover.
The Hall is a Grade I listed building.
The park is Grade II* listed in the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England.
Located south-east of Sheffield, and north of Renishaw village, which is north-east of Chesterfield.
