Scaffolding is coming down


Visitors to the garden this week will notice that the south front of the house is slowly emerging from the veil of white plastic and scaffolding which has recently hidden the house while the stonework has been cleaned and restored.

I wandered through the garden today and couldn’t believe how stunning the newly revealed exterior, gilded window frames, balustrade and refurbished masonry look. It will look fantastic when the whole south front is uncovered in December. The work is part of our ongoing Masterplan, a major project of essential restoration and development, which is being funded by the Chatsworth House Trust; all visitor admission income goes direct to this charity, for the long term protection of Chatsworth. It is great to visibly see how visitor admission is making such a difference here at Chatsworth.
