Hardwick Old Hall (English Heritage Guidebooks)
Hardwick Old Hall is one of the most innovative houses of the Tudor period. It was built between 1587 and 1596 by Bess of Hardwick, a friend of Elizabeth I, and one of the richest women of the Elizabethan age. At the same time, Bess built the neighbouring New Hall to complement the Old Hall and to provide extra accommodation. Furnished with the finest pieces and textiles, Hardwick would once have been a glittering reflection of Bess's status and aspirations. This brand new guide contains a family tree, plans, maps and a wealth of photographs of this charming and evocative house.
