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.
