  • 1 Made in Derby 2018 Profile Bess of Hardwick
    Made in Derby 2018 Profile Bess of Hardwick Bess of Hardwick has been described as one of the richest women in England during Tudor times and a good friend of Queen Elizabeth I. She also had an obsession with building. This is borne out by the wording on her marble tomb effigy in Derby Cathedral - the parish church of All Saints in Bess’s lifetime - which describes her as the “aedificatrix’ (builder) of Chatsworth, Hardwick and Oldcotes. Both Hardwick Hall – old and new- Chatsworth House – still exist and stand as a testimony to both Bess’s wealth and her building fervour. Althougnothing remains of Oldcotes, which was built for her son William Cavendish. And although she spent much of her life marrying four times, having eight children and building grand houses in the north of the county, she also found opportunity to be in Derby. She had a town house built on the north side of the Market Place. This was a large brick Tudor house, which enabled Bess and her husband, Lord Shrewsbury, to attend functions in Derby and probably later became Newcastle House and large parts of this were not demolished until 1971. Earlier in 1599, Bess decided to found a charity in Derby to the rear of All Saints Church in Full Street. 1 It was called the Shrewsbury Hospital, later to become the Devonshire Hospital but more likely to resemble almshouses, to house eight poor men and four poor women, to be endowed with a rent-charge of £100 per annum. The lucky people were to be chosen from the parishes of All Saints’, St.

    The Devonshire Collection Archives GB 2495 DF11 Papers of Elizabeth Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (1757-1824) ([1782] – c.1820) Catalogued by Louise Clarke; revised by Fran Baker, Chatsworth House Trust DF 11: Papers of Elizabeth Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (1757 - 1824) ([1782] – c.1820) Administrative/Biographical History: Elizabeth Christiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, society hostess and patron of the arts, was born Elizabeth Hervey in 1757 at Horringer, Suffolk. Her parents were Frederick Augustus Hervey, 4th Earl of Bristol (1730-1803), and Elizabeth Davers (1730-1800). She was known for most her life as Lady Elizabeth Foster, Bess to her friends. She spent her formative years in semi-poverty abroad and in Ireland, where her father was the Bishop of Derry. In 1776, she married John Thomas Foster (b. 1747), with whom she had two sons, Frederick (b. 1777) and Augustus (b. 1780). The marriage was an unhappy one and the couple separated in 1780; Foster retained custody of their sons, and did not allow the boys to see their mother for 14 years. In 1782, while lodging with her aunt in Bath, she met William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire, and his wife Georgiana. After only a few weeks of acquaintance she moved in with them. There was much speculation about the nature of their relationship. Foster certainly became mistress of the 5th Duke, and the closest friend and confidante of Duchess Georgiana. In December 1784 she became pregnant with the Duke’s child. Using her health as a pretext, she went to Naples and gave birth in secret to Caroline Rosalie on 16 August 1785.

  • Headway Fourth Edition Pre-Intermediate Reading Text Unit 7
    Read the text. 1 Living history Chatsworth House has been home to the same family since 1549. In that time the house has welcomed kings and queens, prime ministers and politicians, and more recently bands and film crews. The 12th Duke of Devonshire, Peregrine Cavendish, and his wife Amanda have lived at Chatsworth since 2006. The Duke inherited the house on the death of his father in 2004. He says: ‘My family has lived here for over 450 years. The estate has been passed down the Cavendish family for 15 generations, and I now have the pleasure and responsibility to look after it for the next generation.’ Visitors often see him walking through the house and garden when it is open to the public. He says, ‘Chatsworth is a magical place, and I feel lucky to be able to share it with all of our visitors.’ Headway Pre-Intermediate Fourth Edition • Student’s Book • Unit 7 pp.58–59 © Oxford University Press PHOTOCOPIABLE 2 The most beautiful house in England Chatsworth is situated in the hills of Derbyshire, in the Midlands. Many people say it is the most beautiful house in England. It has nearly 300 rooms (with 17 staircases and 26 baths) and is set in 35,000 acres of land. It needs 500 staff to run. The art collection includes paintings by Raphael, van Dyck, and Rembrandt. The whole estate is worth about £500 million. It costs approximately £5m a year to run Chatsworth, so the house has been open to the paying public since 1949, and in 2010 there were around 600,000 visitors.

  • Derby Cathedral Is an Eclectic Mix of the Ancient and the New
    Treasures of Britain Simple but elegant, the Altar with the Retro Choir behind that was added in the 1960s UPGRADED FROM parish church to become one of Britain’s newest cathedrals, All Saints’, Derby, has a long and intriguing history gUoing back more than 1000 years. Bonnie Prince Charlie prayed here and ordered the bells rung but, with London unprotected and at his mercy, opted to turn back to Scotland the next day. Bess of Hardwick, one of the most colourful characters of Tudor England, is buried here. Georgina Duchess of Devonshire, an equally colourful 18th century character, also rests in the same Cavendish family vault. Derby Cathedral is an eclectic mix of the ancient and the new. Its tower has stood for 500 years while the rest of the church has been rebuilt and modified around it, then extended in the Seventies for its role as a cathedral. Joseph Wright, the 18th century Derby artist famous for his portraits and his portrayal of the Industrial Revolution and the technology of the time, is commemorated here. What a contrast between Wright’s detailed, almost photographic realism and the striking blue and yellow abstract design of the two stained glass windows created by the 20th century Welsh artist Ceri Richards. Both artists, however, are masters of light. Ancient Richards’s mastery is there for everyone who enters to see. The windows on either side of the altar are the only coloured glass in the cathedral. Installed in 1965, they are very much of the Sixties but still work perfectly with the traditional interior.

  • The Ultimate Peak District & Derbyshire Bucket List
    The Ultimate Peak District & Derbyshire Bucket List: 101 Great Things To Do 1. Embrace the great outdoors in the UK’s first National Park Established in 1951, the Peak District is the country’s oldest National Park. If you love the outdoors, this protected area of natural beauty - which covers 555 square miles in total - offers over 200 square miles of stunning open access land to explore. 2. Visit the ‘jewel in the Peak District’s crown’ at Chatsworth House Home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Chatsworth is one of the UK’s favourite stately homes. Discover over 30 magnificent rooms, a 105-acre garden, parkland, a farmyard and playground, and one of Britain’s best farm shops. 3.

It’s the highest point in the National Park and was also the site of the 1932 Mass Trespass, a landmark event which sparked a debate about the right to roam in the countryside, leading to the establishment of the Peak District as the first National Park two decades later. 4. Discover the UK’s oldest Ice Age cave art at Creswell Crags Walk in the footsteps of Ice Age hunters, uncover the secrets of early man, discover incredible Ice Age cave art and marvel at the UK’s largest discovery of ritual protection marks at this picturesque limestone gorge on the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border. 5.
