Hardwick Hall -- an overview

Images of Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire, one of the greatest Elizabethan buildings in England.

Ok -- I know I am not that inventive with my videos (being that I take stuff from documentaries/film and not create it from scratch) so I decided to do something a little different and set clips from a series on Hardwick Hall to Elizabethan music.

I want the brief video to give a general impression of the grandeur of the place. The numerous tapestries on the walls have faded with time but back in the C16th they would have been bright and colourful. The artwork too is superb and I will try to post clips from the documentary on this.

The music is by John Dowland, an English composer (1563-1626)

@oker59 This house was built in the 1590s about a hundred years before Britain had any real say in India. BTW this is the new Hardwick Hall the ruins of the old house are still on this site which date back to the 14th century. Most of the great architectural masterpieces of England were built before the days of the empire.

I like what James Burke says, "a lot of these manor houses went up in the 1800s; of course a bunch of Indian prince fortunes went down at the same time!"

I'm not that impressed; there's hardly an arch in the place; about all that is fascinating is the chimney.

England is truly the mother of America in so many ways, which is why we over here on this side of the Atlantic are perpetually fascinated with England and her history.
