Renishaw Hall has been the home of the Sitwell family for over 350 years. In 1625 George Sitwell built a small H-shaped manor house to which his descendent Sitwell Sitwell, later first baronet, made vast additions in the Georgian period, also the stables and various follies in and around the park. The beautiful Italianate garden, park and lake were the creation of the eccentric Sir George Sitwell, grandfather of the present owner. Beautiful camellias and carpets of daffodils in April are followed by stunning bluebell woods and rhododendrons in May, More than a thousand roses open in June, the herbaceous and mixed borders peak in July and August, with many rare annuals and exotic borders flowering on through September.
