Kirby Hall

Kirby Hall Explore one of England's greatest Elizabethan and 17th century houses. Kirby Hall once belonged to Queen Elizabeth I's Lord Chancellor, Christopher Hatton.

Today enjoy the mansion's architecture and formal garden laid out by a descendent in 1690s. Kirby Hall is one of England’s greatest Elizabethan and 17th century houses earlier owned by Sir Christopher Hatton, Lord Chancellor to Queen Elizabeth I. Although this vast mansion is partly roofless, the walls show the exceptionally rich decoration that proclaims that its successive owners were always in

the forefront of new ideas about architecture and design. There are also recently restored great gardens with elaborate ‘cutwork’ design complete with statues and urns. This page is for visitors and fans of Kirby Hall to share photos, thoughts and recommendations.
