Kirby Hall in Northamptonshire is managed by English Heritage. It is a home built to impress, but never quite fulfilled its potential as Elizabeth 1st never visited and the owner died before it was completed
The huge bow windows, unique at the time for being round, are the outstanding feature and a clear statement of wealth.
What is left does give a clear impression of what a fine house it was. The elegant parterre garden, however, is fully restored.
