Although Kirby Hall's finest state rooms survive impressively complete, much of this vast mansion is now a dramatic roofless shell with plenty of intriguing details to explore.
Begun in 1570, Kirby’s inner courtyard displays Classical-style features never previously seen in English mansions.
Sir Christopher Hatton the Fourth added the great gardens (described as ‘the finest garden in England’) in the late 17th century. They have been recreated as they may have appeared in the 1690s.
