Derby - Kedleston Hall 
|
|
Kedleston Hall (4.5mi/7km northwest of Derby; near Quarndon), home of the Curzon family, is probably the finest Adam house in England, having been refashioned by Robert and James Adam in about 1760. Its principal feature is the great marble hall, with 20 pink alabaster pillars; there is much fine furniture by Chippendale and other leading cabinetmakers of the day. The north front, with six Corinthian columns, was built by James Paine at the end of the 17th C. Also worth seeing are the "Indian Museum" and the chapel (12th C).
