Hardwick Hall

Dan Cruickshank explores the history of Derbyshire's Hardwick Hall, the unspoilt Elizabethan manor built in the late 16th century by Bess, Countess of Shrewsbury, who amassed fabulous riches in a series of judicious marriages and survived one of the messiest and most public divorce cases ever seen in Britain.
