This book is a must for all those interested in finding out more about the social and physical history of this great hall and its surrounding villages.
One of the most magnificent great house of the Elizabethan period, Hardwick New Hall stands prominently on high ground overlooking the valley of the river Doe Lea in north-east Derbyshire. The Old Hall was built by Bess in the 1580s. This book looks at the history of both the halls and the estate, and the changing fortunes of the Cavendish family.
