Renishaw Hall - Sheffield
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Renishaw Hall has been the family home of the Sitwells for nearly 400 years. We have a beautiful 300-acre park, eight acres of the most important Italianate gardens in England, and a house full of treasures large and small collected over many centuries. This is open by appointment to the public for exclusive and intimate tours with knowledgeable and friendly guides to tell you about the family, the artefacts they have collected, the history of Renishaw and to answer any of your questions. Renishaw Hall Gardens make an excellent day out for families as well as garden, history and art enthusiasts. Come and spend a day, with the whole family - walk, enjoy our children's trails and magic garden, and stop for lunch in our cafe. The building is 300 yards long and overlooks the park. Rex Whistler, one of the many artists sponsored and patronised by the Sitwells at the beginning of the century, called it "the most exciting place I know". | |||||||||||||||||||||||
