Description

The Smythson circle is an absorbing narrative stretching from 1541 to 1614, charting the creation of the first Renaissance buildings in England. David Durant, author of the acclaimed Bess of Hardwick, describes how Chatsworth, Old and New Hardwick Halls, Wollaton, Bolsover and Longleat all came to be built in this vital not to say pivotal period in English architectural history.

Far from being a dry architectural study, The Smythson Circle is a detective story and quintessentially Elizabethan drama, full of grand schemes and sometimes dashed hopes, taking in marital sagas, financial ruin, sudden fires and a cast of extraordinary characters.
