KEDLESTON HALL.
The BEAUTIFUL SEAT OF THE CURzON
FAMILY IN SOUTH DERBYSH1RE


Kedleston Hail. the ancestral manor house Of
the Curzon family. the name Of which appears
IN the title recently conferred upon the new
Viceroy of India, has for the last one hundred
and thirty years been the show-slght Of South
Derbyshire. 1t stands upon a site which has
been the homo OF the Curzons for eight hundred
years, ever since the founder Of the family
Giraline de Cursor. came with the COnqueror
from France. Two earlier structures preceded
the present magnificent hall, which was begun
In 1856 when the head Of the family was Sir
Nathaniel Curzon. NJ. p, the fifth baroDet and
the first peer. There appeared some months ago
in The Magazine Of Art" published by Cassell
4 Co., Limited, illustrated article descriptive
Of Kedleston Hall. few of the pictures which
accompanied this article reproduced,
and some Of the most interesting facts regarding
the architecture Of the structure noted.
Sir Nathaniel Curzon, having conceived the
idea Of building more imposing manor house
upon the old site, intrusted its designing to Mr.
-afterward Sir-Robert Adam. The latter had
travelled widely through Southern Europe. and
had studied carefully the best forms Of classical
architecture. He had built many noble edifces
In various parts of England, but upon Kedeston
