Renishaw Hall is a Grade I listed building and has been the home of the Sitwell family for over 350 years.
The current owner of Renishaw is Alexandra Sitwell, daughter of the late Sir Reresby and Lady Sitwell.
The house was built in 1625 by George Sitwell (1601–67) who, in 1653,
was High Sheriff of Derbyshire. The Sitwell fortune was made as
colliery owners and ironmasters from the 17th to the 20th centuries.
Substantial alterations and the addition of the west and east ranges
were made to the building for Sir Sitwell Sitwell by Joseph Badger of
Sheffield between 1793 and 1808 and further alterations were made in
1908 by Sir Edwin Lutyens.
The owner until 2009 was Sir Reresby Sitwell, 7th Baronet Sitwell of
Renishaw the eldest son of Sir Sacheverell Sitwell brother of Edith
and Osbert.
The gardens, including an Italianate garden laid out by Sir George
Sitwell (1860–1943), are open to the public. The hall is open for
groups by private arrangement. The park is listed in the Register of
Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England as Grade
II*.
The 1980 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice used footage shot at
Renishaw Hall. D. H. Lawrence is said to have used the local village
of Eckington and Renishaw Hall as inspiration for his novel Lady
Chatterley's Lover.
The Sitwells have always been avid collectors and patrons of the arts and the history of the family is filled with writers, innovators and eccentrics.
Dame Edith Sitwell (1887 - 1964) was a grandly eccentric poet and novelist, described by one observer as “an altar on the move.”
Sir Osbert Sitwell (1892-1969) wrote prose, poetry and also many short stories and novels, including Before the Bombardment (1926)
Sir Sacheverell Sitwell (1897-1988) His first volume of poetry, The People’s Palace, was published in 1918. He is also well known for his writing on art, architecture and ballet.
