Why was hardwick hall built?
Hardwick Hall was built in the late 16th century by Bess of Hardwick, one of the wealthiest women in England at the time. It was designed as a demonstration of her wealth and status, showcasing her ambition and power in a patriarchal society. The hall's distinctive architecture, featuring large windows and a grand design, reflected the Renaissance ideals of the era and served as a symbol of Bess's success and influence. Additionally, it functioned as a family home and a center for managing her extensive estates.
Is Hardwick Hall where Bess of Hardwick lived?
Yes, for about 15 years prior to her death. Before this she lived in the Old Hall, which is now a ruin under protection of English Heritage. Bess constructed the New Hardwick Hall originally intenting it to be a residence for her son William. At the time she was the Countess of Shrewsbury, and this is why the initials ES appear on the parapet (Elizabeth, Shrewsbury). This, and the many windows (Hardwick Hall more glass than wall is a local saying) and the situaton of the house high on a limestone escarpment, were symbols of her wealth. And she was very wealthy, her family originally owned this land, they were very poor, her father spent time in debters prison. She however, purchased land very wisely, including mines and mills, and unusually at that time managed to own property in her own right. She also enlarged the exisiting Chatsworth Hall during her lifetime, which was eventually taken over by William, who was the first Duke of Devonshire. At the time of her death, the family estate was estimated to be around $100,000, making her the equivalent of one of todays billionairres. Smart woman.
