We drove up to Yorkshire on Wednesday and had a good break including a visit to Hardwick Hall, a National Trust property just off the M1 and therefore a good place to break up our return trip home. It is best known through Bess of Hardwick who built the new hall as a public statement of wealth and power whilst the old hall, now an attractive ruin, had been her home in childhood. Alison is a little obsessed with Bess at the moment and was pleased to be able to add this visit to her summer outing to Chatsworth.
