Kedleston Hall

Kedleston Hall is an 18th-century English country house in Derbyshire designed in a Palladian exterior with Neoclassical interiors by Robert Adam, built as the Curzon family seat. The composition is three main blocks linked by curving galleries with a dominant central corps de logis and a six-columned Corinthian north portico; the house and park are now cared for by the National Trust and display the principal state rooms and collections.

As it stood in 1765

What Kedleston Hall looked like in its prime.

A long three‑block Palladian façade of pale, smooth‑dressed sandstone with a rusticated ground floor and slate roofs; the centre is dominated by a six‑columned Corinthian portico beneath a triangular pediment topped with classical statues. Two lower, segmentally curved linking galleries connect identical pavilions to either side. Windows are tall piano nobile sashes, the stone has a faint pinkish tinge, and from the garden-facing axis a low dome and curved external staircases punctuate the composition.
