Hardwick Old Hall - Tour of an Elizabethan Prodigy House

Video shows our trip to Hardwick Old Hall. Hardwick Old Hall is one of the most innovative houses of the Tudor period. Built between 1587 and 1596 by Bess of Hardwick, one of the richest and best-connected women of the Elizabethan age. A radical modern mansion, it drew on the latest Italian innovations in house design. Before the house was completed Bess started work on Hardick Hall situated opposite. The Old Hall was used as guest and servant accomodation. When her heirs moved to Chatsworth the house gradually fell to ruin. Although the Old Hall is in ruin, it remains a magnificent reflection of Bess’s status and aspirations.
The house is owned by the National Trust and administered by English Heritage. Entry is free to English Heritage and National Trust members.

It is a shame that the family let it go to ruin and partly dismantled it in the 1750s. But it is great that English Heritage has laid floorboards so you can see a bit of what it would have looked like all those years ago. I love the old stone ovens. Another great video. Thanks for sharing.

Awful that such a historical building was left to ruin. Thanks for sharing what it now looks like.

[@inbetween-days]

Thank you so much. Yes it was a shame but they did have Hardwick Hall and Chatsworth amongst a number of other properties so guess they could afford to let it go to ruin. Would have been good if they could have kept it on though as would have been pretty spectacular. Hope you are having a great week Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️

Good morning Dave and Dawn! What a great video of Hardwick Old Hall... it is such an amazing ruin. It's great they've been able yo stabilise and preserve the remaining plasterwork, it's incredible it has survived so long open to the elements. What a view from the top ... it must have been quite the splendid residence! We love the stone staircase it just keeps going... a fabulous tour, thankyou 😊 Hope your week is going well... all thd best Neil and Ant 😊

[@inbetween-days]

Hi guys yes we hadn't been to the old hall for ages so it was good to see it again. The plasterwork has really been done well. It's amazing to imagine Bess building this hall only to start on the new hall before this was complete. We filmed the new hall which we will be putting on probably end of next week. It's great that you can do both now with the nt passes. Hope you are both well and are having a great week. Best wishes stay dry Dave and Dawn ❤️
