Renishaw Hall and Gardens

Renishaw Hall has been the Derbyshire home of the Sitwell family for nearly 400 years. It is something of a literary shrine in view of it's associations with the entire Sitwell family. Renishaw Hall is filled with reminders of Sir George and Lady Ida Sitwell and their children , Edith, Osbert and Sacheverell. There is the famous family group by Sargent, the paintings and drawings of John Piper and a host of other interesting things which have been accumulated over the centuries. Renishaw Hall is presently owned is Sir Reresby Sitwell, seventh baronet.

The four acre Italian style Renaissance garden complete with fountains and neo classical statues offers the visitor a unique experience. The old stable block now houses a museum dedicated to the Sitwell's history, an art gallery, cafe and craft workshops. There is ample parkland to stroll around and a nature trail.
