With peeling paintwork and overgrown courtyards, Calke Abbey tells the story of the dramatic decline of a country house estate. The house and stables are little restored, with many abandoned areas vividly portraying a period in the 20th century when numerous country houses did not survive to tell their story.
The site was an Augustinian priory from the 12th century until its dissolution by Henry VIII. The present building, named Calke Abbey in 1808, was never actually an abbey, but is a Baroque mansion built between 1701 and 1704.
The house was owned by the Harpur family for nearly 300 years until it was passed to the National Trust in 1985 in lieu of death duties. Today, the house is open to the public and many of its rooms are deliberately displayed in the state of decline in which the house was handed to the Trust.
Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire, 1758-65.
The National Trust.
By Matthew Brettingham (1699-1769), James Paine (1717-1789) & Robert Adam (1728-1792).
Interiors complete by the 1780s.
For Nathaniel Curzon, 1st Baron Scarsdale (1726-1804).
Grade l listed.
The Saloon.
The Saloon is one of the grandest rooms in the house. Modelled on the Pantheon in Rome, it is a domed rotunda with four alcoves symmetrically positioned around the walls. In each alcove is a cast iron stove (for heating) designed to resemble a Roman altar, added in the late 1780s. The chairs lining the walls were designed to fit the curved space by John Linnell (1729-1796).
Kedleston Hall is an extravagant temple to the arts. Commissioned in the 1750s by Nathaniel Curzon whose ancestors had resided at Kedleston since the 12th century. The house is framed by historic parkland and boasts opulent interiors intended to impress.
Designed for lavish entertaining, Kedleston Hall displays an extensive collection of paintings, sculpture and original furnishings, reflecting both the tastes of its creators and their fascination with the classical world of the Roman Empire.
Inherited by George Nathaniel Curzon, Viceroy of India between 1899 and 1905, the hall also houses the many objects he amassed during his travels in South Asia and the Middle East, and in his role leading British rule in India.

Rotten timber and damaged fabric aplenty lurk inside, though nothing that Landmark can't tackle with their usual aplomb.
