The National Trust is a heritage and nature conservation charity and membership organisation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Trust was founded in 1895 by Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley to "promote the permanent preservation for the benefit of the Nation of lands and tenements (including buildings) of beauty or historic interest". It has since been given statutory powers, starting with the National Trust Act 1907. Historically, the Trust acquired land by gift and sometimes by public subscription and appeal, but after World War II the loss of country houses resulted in many such properties being acquired either by gift from the former owners or through the National Land Fund.
One of the largest landowners in the United Kingdom, the Trust owns almost 250,000 hectares (620,000 acres; 2,500 km2; 970 sq mi) of land and 780 miles (1,260 km) of coast. Its properties include more than 500 historic houses, castles, archaeological and industrial monuments, gardens, parks, and nature reserves. Most properties are open to the public for a charge (members have free entry), while open spaces are free to all. The Trust had an annual income of nearly £724 million in 2023/24, largely from membership subscriptions, donations and legacies, direct property income, profits from its shops and restaurants, and investments. It also receives grants from a variety of organisations including other charities, government departments, local authorities, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Caesars' Hall - Fireplace.
Caesars' Hall.
This lower entrance hall was often used for estate staff parties, local people and tradesmen, as well as being the normal entrance for the family to get to their domestic wing of the property.
The Doric style columns support the upper floor – the 16 thicker ones are the original supporting columns with the 12 thinner columns added in the 19th Century.
Fireplace.
The fireplaces in Caesars' Hall were designed more for aesthetic purposes than practical ones for the heating was through the use of floor vents and grills. The fireplaces were carved by a local Derby mason, George Moneypenny, and designed by Robert Adam's previous draughtsman George Richardson.
The Caesars.
workshop of Matthew Brettingham the younger (1725-1803)
Bronzed plaster, c1758-69, probably cast in Britain after the antique. A set of nine plaster busts of the Caesars, 'bronzed' (painted to look like bronze), installed in the eponymous Caesar's Hall.
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.

Painted plaster, 1757-58.
In the niches of the walls are plaster cast copies of classical marble statues which were acquired in 1757-58. The casts are part of the collection formed by Sir Nathaniel Curzon before the house was built, and around which the chief Interiors were originally planned. There are duplicates within this display, with the 'Dancing Faun' and 'Medici Venus' featuring on either side of the Marble Hall, both of which were acquired second-hand by Curzon.
