Renishaw Hall

Renishaw Hall

The house at Renishaw has been the home of the Sitwell family since 1625 when George Sitwell created a small manor house here. It was left to the unusually named Sitwell Sitwell to build the present stately Georgian mansion around 1800.

The house is set in over 300 acres of beautiful parklands, including seven acres of formal gardens in Italianate style planted by Sir george Sitwell in 1895. There are clipped yew hedges, herbaceous borders, rose and clematis gardens, and a collection of hardy and exotic plants. Paths lead through woodland to lakes which were specially created to enhance the views from the house.

The stable buildings erected by Sitwell Sitwell are now the home of an intriguing museum including exhibits of costume, portraiture, and Sitwell memorabilia. There is a performing arts gallery which exhibits artefacts relating to the performing arts, television and film. Also in the stable buildings is the John Piper Gallery, with paintings and sculpture by the prolific 20th century artist and illustrator.

The hall itself is open to guided group tours only by arrangement. You may contact Renishaw using the information provided below.
