Kedleston Hall
It is a beautiful 18th century neo classical house, designed by the famous architect Robert Adam. This mansion was built for the Curzon Family and it is one of the best examples of Robert Adam's work. The building work began in 1759 and was completed during 1765. This hall was designed and built to impress with its massive portico of eight pillars under a huge triangular pediment crowned with classical statues.
Kedleston Hall is situated a few minutes' drive north of Derby. Limo Hire Derby offers the best tour service to Kedleston Hall, where you can learn further of the fantastic history of this mansion.
Within the hall there are a number of magnificent rooms including the Saloon, Marble Hall and the library. Each has superb decor with a wonderful collection of paintings and original furniture.
The Eastern museum hosts a tremendous collection of exotic Asian treasures. These were collected by Lord Curzon when he was Viceroy of India during 1899 to 1905.
The Saloon has a huge doomed ceiling which was modelled on the classical Rome building, the Pantheon. This room was traditionally used for balls and to entertain and impress guests.
Any visitor really will be impressed by the grand marble entrance which reflects Robert Adam's passion for Rome.
