The Peak District and Derbyshire are amazingly rich in their variety of historical buildings. This extensively illustrated book details the history and development of all the major buildings in the region, from the Domesday Book (1086) to the present time. Whilst the well known halls such as Hardwick Hall, Haddon Hall and Chatsworth House are descibed, much of the book describes the lesser known halls and castles that help to make the area one of the finest architectural realms of Britain. Several of the halls are open to the public during the summer months and give added insight to centuries past. Derbyshire was "home" to Mary, Queen of Scots, for seventeen years and you can see many of the places associated with this tragic queen.
