Burghley House is a grand 16th-century English country house near Stamford on the Cambrigeshire/Lincolnshire border, built by William Cecil. The estate features magnificent State Rooms, art collections and grounds designed by Capability Brown.

 

William Cecil (later the 1st Baron Burghley) began building the house as a demonstration of his wealth and power and to establish a dynastic family seat, contruction began in 1555 and the house mostly comple by 1587. He was heavily involved in its design, which was intended to impress the Queen (Elizabeth I) and her court.

 

While the exterior largely retains its original Elizabethan look, the interiors were extensively remodeled in the Baroque style by the 5th Earl of Exeter in the late 17th century. This included commissioning the famous "Heaven Room" and "Hell Staircase" ceiling paintings by the Italian artist Antonio Verrio.

 

In the 18th century, the renowned landscape architect Lancelot 'Capability' Brown was employed by the 9th Earl to redesign the gardens and parkland. Brown created the sweeping vistas, the lake, and the Lion Bridge, even altering the house's structure to enhance the views.

 

The 6th Marquess of Exeter, a gold-medal-winning Olympic athlete immortalized in the film Chariots of Fire, oversaw significant modernization of the house, including the introduction of electricity. In 1961, he established the Burghley House Preservation Trust, a charitable trust that now owns and maintains the house, its contents, and the surrounding estate for the public's enjoyment.

Both the Elizabethan Water Garden and Lyveden New Bield - an uncompleted summer house - are closed for the next few months while the National Trust builds improved facilities for visitors, so this is a reminder of what they look like.

 

Situated in beautiful countryside a few miles from Oundle in Northamptonshire they were the work of Sir Thomas Tresham towards the end of the 16th century. The Water Garden comprised a series of canals forming three sides of a square, with a meadow in the centre. At each of the corners is a spiral mound (one of which is seen here) which enabled ladies to gracefully walk to the top to enjoy the view.

This is part of an Elizabethan Water Garden, constructed towards the end of the 16th century for Sir Thomas Tresham at his estate at Lyveden, near Oundle, in Northamptonshire. It was intended to take the form of a square, with spiral mounds on each corner linked by these waterways. However, like the adjacent Lyveden New Bield, it was never quite completed. The spiral mounds were to enable ladies to walk to the top and enjoy the splendid views of the countryside. The Water Garden, which is owned by the National Trust, was only discovered in the late 20th century as a result of studying wartime aerial pictures, as it was hidden away behind brambles and shrubbery.

 

Tresham was a Catholic politician and was regularly fined for failing to attend Protestant church. He eventually ran out of money, leaving Lyveden New Bield and the adjacent Water Garden unfinished. He died in 1605, as did his son, who was implicated in the Gunpowder Plot. Although the latter died in the Tower of London it was actually from natural causes.

Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester built a whole new four storey extension to Kenilworth castle especially for the unprecedented nineteen day visit of Queen Elizabeth I 450 years ago. He wanted to impress her so much that she would agree to marry him, he failed! This window is in the ruins of her special apartments.

The hall is a Grade I listed 15th-century country house retaining much of its original Tudor character including a magnificent Great Hall with fine hammerbeam roof, and a recently restored Elizabethan Kitchen with a magnificent fireplace.

 

Sir William Martyn had the current Great Hall built in about 1485. A West Wing was added in the middle of the next century, forming an attractive oblique angle to the older building that marks it out from other houses of the same era.

I saw this shot recently on either Flickr or Instagram (I think it was Flickr) so I thought I'd try it. Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery and all that. So going into town to see the Canary Wharf Winter Lights with friends we changed from the Central Line to the Elizabeth Line (Crossrail to the likes of you and me) at Bond Street and I stuck the camera up against the platform edge screen. The Elizabeth Line won the prestigious Stirling Prize for Architecture last year, perhaps you can see why?

Montacute House is a late Elizabethan mansion with garden in Montacute, South Somerset.

 

An example of English architecture during a period that was moving from the medieval Gothic to the Renaissance Classical, and one of few prodigy houses to survive almost unchanged from the Elizabethan era,[3] the house has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building,[1] and Scheduled Ancient Monument.[2] It was visited by 125,442 people in 2013.[4] Designed by an unknown architect, possibly the mason William Arnold, the three-storey mansion, constructed of the local Ham Hill stone, was built in about 1598 by Sir Edward Phelips, Master of the Rolls and the prosecutor during the trial of the Gunpowder Plotters.[5]

 

Sir Edward Phelips' descendants occupied the house until the early 20th century. For a brief period the house was let to tenants, one of whom was Lord Curzon, who lived at the house with his mistress, the novelist Elinor Glyn. In 1931, it was acquired by the National Trust.

 

The house is maintained by the National Trust. Its Long Gallery, the longest in England, serves as a South-West outpost of the National Portrait Gallery displaying a skilful and well-studied range of old oils and watercolours.

 

Montacute and its gardens have been a filming location for several films and a setting for television costume dramas and literary adaptations. Wikipedia

According to Wikipedia - Wollaton Hall is an Elizabethan country house of the 1580s standing on a small but prominent hill in Wollaton Park, Nottingham, England. The house is now Nottingham Natural History Museum, with Nottingham Industrial Museum in the outbuildings. The surrounding parkland has a herd of deer, and is regularly used for large-scale outdoor events such as rock concerts, sporting events and festivals.

 

Wollaton is a classic prodigy house, "the architectural sensation of its age", though its builder was not a leading courtier and its construction stretched the resources he mainly obtained from coalmining; the original family home was at the bottom of the hill. Though much re-modelled inside, the "startlingly bold" exterior remains largely intact.

 

Wollaton Hall was built between 1580 and 1588 for Sir Francis Willoughby and is believed to be designed by the Elizabethan architect, Robert Smythson, who had by then completed Longleat, and was to go on to design Hardwick Hall. The general plan of Wollaton is comparable to these, and was widely adopted for other houses, but the exuberant decoration of Wollaton is distinctive, and it is possible that Willoughby played some part in creating it. The style is an advanced Elizabethan with early Jacobean elements.
