Elvaston Castle
Elvaston Castle is a 19th-century Gothic Revival country house in Elvaston, Derbyshire, standing at the centre of extensive parkland and formal gardens. The present castle evolved from an earlier Elizabethan manor, remade by James Wyatt and later architects, and sits within a designed 200-acre estate with many service and garden structures. It is owned by Derbyshire County Council and in recent decades has been closed to the public and in need of substantial restoration.

As it stood in 1861
The shape it held in its prime.
A large Gothic Revival country house of ashlar/stone construction, composed of multiple linked wings around a prominent central great hall; the south front retains Elizabethan proportions remodelled into Gothic detailing. The roofline is varied with projecting gables and stepped wings, punctuated by tall vertical window openings. The castle sits within formal gardens, specimen trees and open parkland; associated service ranges and outbuildings (stables, kennels, walled garden, boathouse) cluster nearby. At its prime the fabric and roofs are complete and the grounds mature.
