Kirby Hall

Kirby Hall Explore one of England's greatest Elizabethan and Stuart houses. Kirby Hall once belonged to Queen Elizabeth I's Lord Chancellor, Christopher Hatton.
(1)

Today enjoy the hall’s architecture and formal garden. Kirby Hall is one of England’s greatest Elizabethan and 17th century houses earlier owned by Sir Christopher Hatton, Lord Chancellor to Queen Elizabeth I. Although this vast mansion is partly roofless, the walls show the exceptionally rich decoration that proclaims that its successive owners were always in the forefront of new ideas about arch

itecture and design. There are also recently restored great gardens with elaborate ‘cutwork’ design complete with statues and urns.

Did you know Kirby Hall’s grounds feature a hidden bridge across the Gretton Brook?

See if you can find it on your visit and learn about our medieval origins and the lost village of Kirby.
